  • PLASMA ANALYTES PREDICT DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF THORACIC AORTIC ANEURYSM
    Publication number: 20150203916
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and materials for assessing thoracic aortic aneurysm using a combination of protein and microRNA biomarkers. The presence or levels of the biomarkers can be measured in a body fluid, such as plasma and serum, or in cardiac tissue, to predict the presence and severity of TAA in a subject. This can be used to diagnose and monitor TAA, providing early detection of a lethal and silent disease, as well as reduce the frequency of radiological procedures, which are costly and potentially dangerous.

  • Assessing Cardiac Disease Via Detection and Measurement of MicroRNA
    Publication number: 20130289141
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and materials for assessing cardiac disease, including cardiac failure, cardiac hypertrophy, thoracic aortic aneurysm, left ventricular remodeling using microRNA levels. The level of microRNAs can be measured in a body fluid, such as plasma and serum, or in cardiac tissue.
