Diagnostic value of peripheral blood miR‐296 combined with vascular endothelial growth factor B on the degree of coronary artery stenosis in patients with coronary heart disease
Abstract:Objective
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disorder resulting from organic and functional coronary artery stenosis (CAS), thus causing reduced oxygenated blood in the heart. miRNAs are useful biomarkers in the diagnosis of atherosclerosis, CHD, and acute coronary syndrome. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is closely related to CHD. This study explored the correlation of miR‐296 and VEGF‐B expression levels in peripheral blood with CAS degree in CHD patients.
Methods
Totally 220 CHD patients were enro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
