Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) and high sensitivity C – reactive protein (hs-CRP) in coronary artery ectasia
The specific causative mechanisms of abnormal luminar dilatation in coronary artery ectasia (CAE) are essentially unknown. Destruction of extracellular matrix may be responsible for the ectasia formation. Thus, we investigated the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP9), and inflammatory marker (hi...
