Circulating cardiovascular <scp>microRNAs</scp> in critically ill <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19 patients

Abstract

In this exploratory study, inflammation and cardiac myocyte-specific miRs were upregulated in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Importantly, miR profiles were able to differentiate between severely ill, mechanically-ventilated Influenza-ARDS and COVID-19 patients, indicating a rather specific response and cardiac involvement of COVID-19.
