miR-1
rnamiR-1 is released from ischemic myocardium and dysregulated in MI; elevated levels indicate cardiomyocyte injury and arrhythmia risk.
Pathway placement
Cascade stepMyocardial injury (shared endpoint)
Confidencemedium
RationaleCardiac injury biomarker; dysregulated in AMI and ischemia-reperfusion; involved in arrhythmia and platelet activation.
