Does the novel microRNA hsa-miR-Chr8:96 distinguish patients with acute myocarditis from those with myocardial infarction?
The novel microRNA hsa-miR-Chr8:96 may serve as a circulating biomarker to differentiate acute myocarditis from myocardial infarction.
After identifying a novel microRNA in mice and humans with myocarditis, we found that the human homologue (hsa-miR-Chr8:96) could be used to distinguish patients with myocarditis from those with myocardial infarction. (Funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and others.).
Blanco-Domínguez et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
