Identification of microRNA biomarkers simultaneously expressed in circulating extracellular vesicles and atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. miRNA expression profiles of serum-derived EVs were obtained by small RNA sequencing and in plaque material simultaneously acquired from patients.

Coronary Artery Calcification: Current Concepts and Clinical Implications

Circulation

Nevertheless, the relationship between CAC and the susceptibility of a plaque to provoke a thrombotic event remains incompletely understood. Limited spatial resolution and blooming artifacts may hinder estimation of degree of coronary artery stenosis. This review summarizes the current understanding and literature on CAC.
