Abstract
⺠Extracellular matrix remodeling in an aged HF animal model remains unexplored. ⺠Gross functional and morphological LV remodeling is greatest in aged HF sheep. ⺠Collagen content is increased in young HF but decreased in aged HF. ⺠MMP activity and collagen fibrillogenesis increases in both young HF and aged HF. ⺠TIMP protein levels are diminished only in aged HF hearts.
