Correlation between serum matrix metalloproteinase and myocardial fibrosis in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction: A retrospective analysis

Objective: A strong correlation exists between myocardial fibrosis and heart failure (HF). Myocardial fibrosis can be detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), which is a crucial noninvasive imaging method with high specificity and sensitivity. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are primary protea...
