Carotid Plaque Rupture Is Accompanied by an Increase in the Ratio of Serum circR-284 to miR-221 Levels [Original Articles]

Conclusions—
Serum circR-284:miR-221 has potential as a diagnostic biomarker of carotid plaque rupture and stroke. Moreover, we demonstrate the use of functionally related pairs of circulating noncoding RNAs as biomarkers in cardiovascular disease.
