Specifically, the literature has reported that a multivariate statistical analysis of large cohorts, on 106 myocardial infarction (MI) patients and 85 controls, indicate that NEAT1 levels were altered in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) (p = 0.001) by post-MI status, independent of statin intake, LVEF, LDL- or HDL-cholesterol, or age [26]. Here, NEAT1 is linked to myocardial infarction.
