Epidemiological and histological findings implicate matrix Gla protein in diastolic left ventricular dysfunction.

Epidemiological and histological findings implicate matrix Gla protein in diastolic left ventricular dysfunction.

A novel paradigm of diastolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction proposes involvement of the cardiac microvasculature. Vitamin K dependent matrix Gla protein (MGP) plays a role in preserving microcirculatory integrity. We hypothesized that LV filling pressure-a measure of diastolic LV dysfunction-inc...
