Characterisation of Myocardial Infarction and Unstable Angina with mRNA Profiles from Whole Blood of individual patients
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a leading cause of death worldwide. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are the spectrum of diseases arising from coronary atherosclerotic plaque rupture, ranging from unstable angina (UA; clinical symptoms of cardiac ischemia without myocardial necrosis) to myocardial infarction (MI; clinical symptoms of cardiac ischemia with myocardial necrosis). We use microrray to identify changes in pathways following MI.This study examines mRNA expression levels in human whole blood at 7 and 30 days post ACS. Patients with MI are compared to those with UA (not healthy controls), thus focusing on differences in mRNA expression due to the acute clinical events rather than underlying atherosclerosis and its treatment.
