Novel Association between Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation in a Case-Cohort Study: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Background: Previous cross-sectional studies have suggested that biomarkers of extracellular matrix remodelling are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), but no prospective data have yet been published. Hence, we examine whether plasma matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and their inhibitors are rel...
