ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the correlation between matrix metalloproteinase‐9(MMP‐9) and cardiac function ,aneu‐rysm volume in the process of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) formation .Methods Rabbit models of LVA were established in 20 New Zealand rabbits by lighting left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery .Two‐dimensional echocardiography were performed at preoperative and postoperative 1 d ,2 d ,3 d ,1 w ,2 w ,3 w ,4 w .The survived animals which had LVA formed were en‐rolled .Real time three‐dimensional echocardiography was performed to obtain left ventricular volume ,LVEF and LVA volume ,The MMP‐9 serum concentration was measured by ELISA .Results (1)There were a significant increase in the serum concentration of MMP‐9 from postoperative 1 d and arrived at the peak at postoperative 3 d ,there were higher than preoperative at postoperative 4 w (P<0 .05) .(2)Compared with preoperative ,the LVEDV ,LVESV and LVAV volume at postoperative showed an increase trend (P<0 .05) ,while there was a decreasing trend in LVEF(P<0 .05) .(3)The MMP‐9 had the better relationship with LVEF at post‐operative 1 d ,2 d ,3 d ,1 w ,2 w ,3 w ,4 w ,in which MMP‐9 had the tightest relationship with LVEF at postoperative 3 d (r=0 .731 , P<0 .05) .MMP‐9 had the better relationship with LVA volume at postoperative 2 d ,3 d ,1 w ,2 w ,3 w ,4 w ,in which MMP‐9 had the tightest relationship with LVA volume at postoperative 3 d (r=0 .636 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion The MMP‐9 had an effect on cardiac function and LVA volume in the process of LVA formation .
