The aim of the study was to examine the reorganization of extracellular matrix left ventricular myocardium (LVM) rats (n = 38) with experimental heart failure (EHF) as affected by perindopril and melatonin administration. Rats LVM was studied using the methods of light microscopy, immunocytochemistry and morphometry. At day 14 of EHF, marked mosaic staining cardiomyocytes acid dyes, manifest hemodynamic disturbances: venous and capillary congestion, lymphostasis, perivascular and interstitial edema, there was a increase the volume density (OD) stroma, high activity of MMP-1 and TIMP-1. After modeling the EHF to 28 days in LVM, a further increase of hemodynamic met, cardiosclerosis areas and perivascular sclerosis, a significant increase OD stroma, observed decrease in the expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1. In rats given perindopril and melatonin for 14 days, there was a regression of pathological changes in the balance was maintained MMP-1/TIMP-1 ratio close to the group of intact rats. Cardioprotective effects of perindopril and melatonin on extracellular matrix LVM of rats with EHF is discussed.
