Discriminatory power of a circulating multi-noncoding RNA panel in acute coronary syndrome subtypes: Towards precision detection.

Background: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) stands as a significant contributor to cardiovascular mortality, necessitating improved diagnostic tools for early detection and tailored therapeutic interventions. Current diagnostic modalities, exhibit limitations in sensitivity and specificity, urging the quest for novel biomarkers to enhance discrimination of the different stages of ACS including unstable angina, Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI).

Methods: This study investigated the potential of a plasma-circulating multi-noncoding RNA (ncRNA) panel, comprising four miRNAs (miR-182-5p, miR-23a-3p, miR-146a-5p, and miR-183-5p) and three lncRNAs (SNHG15, SNHG5, and RMRP), selected based on their intricate involvement in ACS pathogenesis and signaling pathways regulating post-myocardial infarction (MI) processes.
