Informativity of matrix metalloproteinase 9 study as a laboratory test for destabilization and coronary restenosis in patients with coronary heart disease evaluation
The importance of the study of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) to assess the processes of destabilization and restenosis in atherosclerotic coronary arteries is shown. It has been established that activation of coronary artery wall cells apoptosis in the early stages of atherosclerosis is associated with increased expression of MMP-9.
