Abstract:
0.05).Conclusions The serum MMP-9 can be tested as an objective index in appraisal the severity of the left to right shunt.The increased level of MMP-9 may be one of important mechanism for developing heart failure process in children with left to right shunt CHD.Monitor the level of MMP-9 will help us find adverse myocardial remodeling earlier and begin treatment immediately to prevent heart failure developing.
