Objectives: Enhanced matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) activity in the early post-myocardial infarction (MI) period has been related to early remodeling. However, it has been demonstrated that plasma MMP-8 level has a biphasic profile, and the relation between the late plasma levels and remodeling...
