Early diagnostic value of circulating microRNAs in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction

Background/Aims Evidence has shown that several microRNAs (miRNAs) may be involved in coronary plaque rupture and local thrombus. However, the diagnostic ability of these miRNAs in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is less known. The aim of this study is to explore the diagnostic value of these circulating miRNAs in patients presenting with acute chest pain in the emergency department. Methods and results In a nested case–control study, 140 of...
