Science: non-coding RNA in detecting an evolving myocardial infarction
Chest pain is one of the most common reasons patients present to the hospital. For the patient, it means fear and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the physician faces a rapid decision: are we dealing with a myocardial infarction, a life-threatening condition, or another, often much less dangerous, cause of the symptoms?

That is why in our project we are searching for a new warning signal, writes Ewelina Błażejowska, MD, a PhD candidate at the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology, UCK WUM.
