Identification of microRNA biomarkers in atrial fibrillation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is recognized as the most prevalent arrhythmia, and its subsequently serious complications of heart failure and thromboembolism always raise the social attention. To date, the molecular pathogenesis of AF has largely remained unclear. Publications of contemporary studies have evaluated individual miRNAs expression signatures for AF, and findings of different studies are inconsistent and not all miRNAs...
