Abstract

Background

Ischemic heart disease is the single most common cause of death worldwide. In order to increase the accuracy of the diagnosis, new diagnostic methods have been introduced, including miRNA-499, which is a promising biomarkers in coronary atherosclerotic diseases (CAD), and acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Aim of the work

To evaluate the diagnostic value of circulating miRNA-499 versus high-sensitivity cardiac troponin in early diagnosis of AMI with ST segment elevation within the first 6 h of complaint.

Subjects and methods

This study was conducted on 100 Egyptian patients who presented during the first 3 h of AMI in the emergency department and 98 healthy volunteers as a control group. Serum samples for both groups were analyzed using reverse transcription and real-time PCR by TaqMan® MicroRNA assays.

Results

The concentration of miRNA-499 was significantly elevated in STEMI patients compared to healthy controls (p < 0.001). Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that area under the curve (AUC) for miRNA-499 was 0.90 (95% CI, 0.845–0.955) with 89% sensitivity and 83% specificity, at which positive predictive value (PPV) was 94% andnegative predictive value (NPV) was 69%. Furthermore, miRNA-499 displayed significant positive correlation with hs-cTnT and higher expression than hs-cTnT in the first 3 h of chest pain in emergency department.

Conclusion

miRNA-499 is a promising reliable biomarker for early detection of STEMI patients.
