BACKGROUND: Circulating microRNAs (miRs) have emerged as potential diagnostic
markers in patients with myocardial infarction. Previous studies, however, were based on
limited patient numbers and could not assess the relation of miRs to myocardial damage.
Moreover, the prognostic value of miRs in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is
unknown. The aims of this study were (1) to assess the relation between miR-133a and
myocardial damage assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and …
