A scientific statement from the American Heart Association has been released for the diagnosis and management of myocarditis in children. Myocarditis remains a clinical challenge in pediatrics. Originally, it was recognized at autopsy before the application of endomyocardial biopsy, which led to a histopathology-based diagnosis. Given the invasive and low-sensitivity […]

A Novel Circulating MicroRNA for Myocarditis Diagnosis

This entry was posted in Cardiovascular Diseases and tagged CVD MicroRNA Myocarditis on by

A novel microRNA has been identified in mice and humans with myocarditis, and that the human homologue could be used to distinguish patients with myocarditis from those with myocardial infarction. The human homologue, designated hsa-miR-Chr8:96, was identified in four independent cohorts of patients with myocarditis. The area under the receiver-operating-characteristic […]
