Abstract
the progression of chronic heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction
is accompanied by changes in the structure and function of the cardiovascular system. The
results of this work made it possible to establish the pattern of participation of MMP-9 and
TIMP-4 in the processes accompanying the rearrangement of the extracellular matrix of the
heart during postinfarction remodeling of the left ventricle, the development and progression
of chronic heart failure.
