Abstract EN
Rapid and correct diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) plays a crucial role in saving patients' life.
Although some biomarkers (such as cardiac troponin and creatine kinase) are available for AMI diagnosis so far, there is still a clinical need for novel biomarkers, which can reliably rule in or rule out AMI immediately on admission.
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are a potential choice for novel biomarkers in AMI diagnosis and prognosis with high sensitivity and specificity.
Circulating microRNAs are endogenous miRNAs that are detectable in whole blood, serum, or plasma in a highly stable form.
Until now, around 20 circulating miRNAs were reported to be closely associated with AMI.
In this minireview, we summarized recent available data on the correlation between circulating miRNAs and AMI.
Some miRNAs, such as miR-208, miR-499, miR-133, and miR-1, were given special attention, since they may have a potential prospect in diagnosis and prognosis of AMI.
