Project Objective
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) secreted mostly by platelets can significantly affect the concentration of miRNA in plasma, which makes it possible to monitor platelet function in populations of patients with increased cardiovascular risk, including type 2 diabetes. The assessment of platelet reactivity has many limitations, which means that the prognostic value of the phenomenon of increased platelet activity thus assessed remains uncertain. To date, no studies have investigated the potential relationship between the profile of circulating miRNAs and the prognosis in patients with type 2 diabetes.
