Furthermore, ventricular microRNAs (miR-1, miR-133, miR-208b and miR-499) have been found to be increased in the plasma of patients with myocardial infarction, and might represent a useful alternative to the classical cardiac troponin (cTnI) biomarker [57], [58], [59], [60], [61]. This evidence concerns the gene TNNI3 and myocardial infarction.
