Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD), is a global cardiovascular disease that is characterized by myocardial ischemia and hypoxia caused by coronary artery occlusion. Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) is a particular kind of endogenous non-coding RNA, which can affect the occurrence and development of CAD. Concurrently, several circRNAs display stable persistence in CAD patients, attributable to their exceptional exonuclease resistance, thereby harboring the capacity to evolve into a biomarker for CAD diagnosis and prognosis. This article endeavors to clarify the pivotal role of circRNAs in the intricate pathophysiological processes underlying CAD patients or CAD disease models based on their unique biological characteristics and functionalities, and further discuss their prospects in clinical applications of CAD.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
