Matrix metalloproteinase-9-dependent mechanisms of reduced contractility and increased stiffness in the aging heart

Purpose Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) collectively degrade all extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Of the MMPs, MMP‐9 has the strongest link to the development of cardiac dysfunction. Aging associates with increased MMP‐9 expression in the left ventricle (LV) and reduced cardiac function. We inv...
