Background: Abnormalities in the extracellular matrix (ECM) can occur in heart failure. in this study we analyzed ECM gene expression in patients with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy who did and did not develop sustained myocardial recovery after left ventricular asst device (LVAD) unloading combined with pharmacologic therapy.Methods: Myocardial gene expression of collagens (COL1A1 and COL3A1), fibronectin (FN), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs 1 to 14), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs 1 to 4), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), transforming growth factor-betal (TGF-beta 1) and THY1 was measured by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) at LVAD implantation and again at explantation (recovery, n = 11) or transplantation (non-recovery, n = 5).Results: The non-recovery group had higher levels of pro-fibrotic markers (COL1A1, TGF-beta 1 and THY1) at implantation compared with the recovery group (1.82 +/- 0.74-, 1.81 +/- 0.69-, and 3.01 +/- 1.70-fold, respectively; p
