Sumario:Coronary artery disease is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases in the world. Involvement of microRNAs on the pathogenesis of this disease was reported either in beneficial or detrimental way. Different studies have also speculated that circulating microRNAs can be applied as promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Particularly, microRNA-133a seems to fulfill the criteria of ideal biomarkers due to its role in the diagnosis, severity assessment and in prognosis. The panel of circulating microRNAs has also improved the predictive power of coronary artery disease compared to single microRNAs. In this review, the role of circulating microRNAs for early detection, severity assessment and prognosis of coronary artery disease were reviewed.
