The relationship between circulating microRNAs and left ventricular mass in symptomatic heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction

Abstract

Background: In recent years, many microRNAs (miRNAs) were shown to be dysregulated in specific tissues playing critical roles in the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure (HF). Left ventricular (LV) mass (LVM) has long been recognised as an important prognostic marker in systolic HF patients.
