Azuaje et al. showed that Col5a2 transcript is highly expressed in the left ventricle after myocardial infarction (MI), suggesting a role of collagen V α 2 chain in the post-MI response via ventricular remodeling by recruiting and deposition of sufficient amounts of collagen type I, thereby increasing myocardium healing [38]. This evidence concerns the gene COL5A2 and myocardial infarction.
