Further, LOX/LOXLs participate in a variety of processes affecting the heart, from those associated to post-myocardial infarction (MI) cardiac remodeling, cardiac hypertrophy triggered by pressure or volume overload, heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome or atrial fibrillation. This evidence concerns the gene LOX and myocardial infarction.
