Abstract: Background: Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Disease (CAD) is a frequent cause of mortality worldwide. The discovery of biomarkers that evidenced CAD progression would help with cardiovascular risk reduction. Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been associated with plaque progression, lesion aggravation, and rupture. Objective: This study evaluated that MMPs serum optical-densities and digestive gel-activity are associated with CAD. … Show more
