Role of Circulating Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 in Left Ventricular Remodeling following Myocardial Infarction: A Prospective Controlled Study

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) cleaves Angiotensin-II to Angiotensin-(1–7), a cardioprotective peptide. Serum soluble ACE2 (sACE2) activity is raised in chronic heart failure, suggesting a compensatory role in left ventricular dysfunction. Our aim was to study the relationship between sACE2...
