Background: The dynamics of the extracellular matrix (ECM) fibrosis process in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) may be assessed non-invasively by means of serum markers of fibrosis. Aim: To explore the kinetics of serum markers of fibrosis during a 12-month follow-up in DCM. Methods: We included 70 consecutive DCM patients (pts) (48±12.1years, EF 24.4±7.4%) with new-onset (n=35, duration <6months)...
Background Fibrosis of extracellular matrix (ECM) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) corresponds to the myocardial over-production of various types of collagens. However, mechanism of this process is poorly understood. Objective To investigate whether enhanced metabolism of ECM occur in DCM. Methods Seventy consecutive DCM patients (pts) (48 ± 12.1 years, EF 24.4 ± 7.4 %) and 20 healthy volunteers...
