Extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) contributes only a small fraction to total SOD activity in the heart but is strategically located to scavenge free radicals in the extracellular compartment. EC-SOD expression is decreased in myocardial-infarction (MI)-induced heart failure, but whether EC-SOD can abrogate oxidative stress or modify MI-induced ventricular remodeling has not been previously studied. Consequently, the effects of EC-SOD gene deficiency (EC-SOD KO) on left ventricular (LV) oxidative stress, hypertrophy, and fibrosis were studied in EC-SOD KO and wild-type mice under control conditions, and at 4 and 8 weeks after permanent coronary artery ligation. EC-SOD KO had no detectable effect on LV function in normal hearts but caused small but significant increases of LV fibrosis. At 8 weeks after MI, EC-SOD KO mice developed significantly more LV hypertrophy (LV mass increased 1.64-fold in KO mice compared to 1.35-fold in wild-type mice; p
