Circulating miRNAs Identified as Potential Biomarkers of Heart Disease in 2 Muscular Dystrophies

Promising new biomarkers to detect structural changes in the hearts of people with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy have been identified, according to a study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance. Biomarkers, like miRNAs, that circulate in the blood and are easily detectable can help diagnose and monitor chronic heart-muscle disease, or…
