We did not find any information regarding TIMP3, TNF-receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), and brevican core protein (PGCB) in the setting of MI either for human or animal studies, although TIMP3 was down-regulated in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) [49]. This evidence concerns the gene BCAN and familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
