Identification of nondiabetic heart failure-associated genes by bioinformatics approaches in patients with dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy

Heart failure (HF) is a common pathological condition affecting 4% of the worldwide population. However, approaches for predicting or treating nondiabetic HF (ND‑HF) progression are insufficient. In the current study, the gene expression profile GSE26887 was analyzed, which contained samples from 5 healthy controls, 7 diabetes mellitus‑HF patients and 12 ND‑HF patients with dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy. The dataset of 5 healthy controls and...
