Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) polymorphisms on heart failure (HF) susceptibility, phenotypic characteristics, and prognosis has been poorly explored. METHODS AND RESULTS:We studied 313 HF patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and 367 healthy control subjects. Genotyping of MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G), MMP-3 (-1171 5A/6A), and MMP-9 (-1562 C/T) polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Allelic and genotypic frequencies of MMP-1, -3, and -9 were similar in HF patients and controls. MMP1 2G allele carriers were positively associated to ischemic etiology and history of myocardial infarction (all P values <.05). Patients were followed-up for a median of 40 months and 58 HF-related deaths occurred during this period. HF-related survival was significantly better in MMP1 2G allele carriers (71% versus 42% for 1G/1G patients, P = .002) and in MMP-3 6A allele carriers (70% versus 61% for 5A/5A patients, P = .064), particularly in non-ischemic patients (P = .039). MMP1 2G allele was independently associated to HF survival after adjustment for several other predictors of risk (hazard ratio 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.27 to 0.82; P = .008). CONCLUSIONS:MMP-1, -3, and -9 polymorphisms were not associated to HF susceptibility. However, MMP1 2G allele carriers were related to a higher prevalence of ischemic etiology among patients with systolic HF and better HF-related prognosis.
