Investigation into miRNA profile in patient groups with and without ST elevation

Abstract

Because acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may occur suddenly and cannot be predicted, it is critical to identify early diagnosis markers. In recent years, in addition to the developing diagnostic methods, other markers that may be related to the diagnosis of AMI are miRNA molecules. The specificity of miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and regulation of cardiac functions has been shown. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in miRNA expression levels in MI patients with ST-elevation (STEMI) and without ST elevation (NSTEMI).
