Figure 3 Plasma MMP-28 levels in groups with different severity of calcific aortic valve stenosis. The levels of MMP-28 in mild, moderate, and severe stenosis groups were 1.33±1.47, 2.04±1.85, and 4.02±2.44 ng/mL, respectively. The level of MMP-28 was significantly higher in the severe stenosis group than in the other groups (P<0.05).
