Are circulating cardio-enriched microRNAs associated with long-term prognosis following myocardial infarction?
Our findings confirm increased levels of cardio-enriched miRNAs in the blood of MI patients and establish association of increased miRNA levels with reduced systolic function after MI and risk of death or heart failure.
We conclude that MU is the major TNF-alpha source in uvular tissue and that TNF-alpha is more highly expressed in the heaviest OSA patients compared to less obese OSA patients and nonapneic snorers.
