P1588 micro rna expression profiling may predict cardiac remodeling after stemi

Background MicroRNAs have been recognised as important modulators of cardiovascular function. However, their profiling in ischemic heart disease and contribution to cardiac remodeling has not been defined. Methods We examined 40 patients with STEMI and 20 healthy controls. MicroRNA expression profiling was carried out within 48 hours of the index ischemic event, measuring the expression of microRNA-144,-150,-499 (cardioprotective action), -21, and...
