Combined Analysis of Human and Experimental Murine Samples Identified Novel Circulating MicroRNAs as Biomarkers for Atrial Fibrillation

Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that several microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed in atrial tissue promote a substrate of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, because it has not been fully elucidated whether these experimental data contribute to identifying circulating miRNAs as biomarkers for AF, we used a combined analysis of human serum and murine atrial samples with the aim of identifying these biomarkers for predicting AF.Methods and...
