Coronary artery disease in women: a population-based perspective.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:We aimed to measure changes in the levels of several miRNAs during open-heart surgery and to investigate the relationship between these changes and cardiac biomarkers. METHODS:Creatine kinase-muscle band (CK-MB), cardiac troponin (cTnI) and miRNA (miR-1/21/208a/499) levels were measured during open-heart su...
