ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for the treatment of a subject suffering from a cardiovascular disease using a therapeutically effective amount of at least one enzyme that is capable of inhibiting PAI-1 activity. The invention also provides a method of decreasing the risk of the occurrence of a cardiovascular disease in a subject who presents at least one risk factor that is associated with a cardiovascular disease, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one enzyme that is capable of inhibiting PAI-1 activity. Additionally, the invention provides a method of inhibiting PAI-1 activity in a subject in need thereof, where the subject is administered an enzyme selected from a protease or peptidase.
