MicroRNAs are present in human plasma and have been reported to be biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of circulating microRNA-208b (miR-208b) for the diagnosis and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ⋯ Circulating miR-208b may serve as a sensitive biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of AMI patients.
