Videodensitometric analysis of advanced carotid plaque: correlation with MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of MMP (TIMP) promote derangement of the extracellular matrix, which is ultimately reflected in plaque images seen on ultrasound. Videodensitometry can identify structural disturbances in plaques. OBJECTIVES: To establish the correl...
