Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers for diffuse myocardial fibrosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Circulating microRNAs may represent novel markers for cardiovascular diseases. We evaluated whether circulating miRNAs served as potential biomarkers for diffuse myocardial fibrosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with postcontrast T1 mapping wa...

Zusammenfassung:Circulating microRNAs may represent novel markers for cardiovascular diseases. We evaluated whether circulating miRNAs served as potential biomarkers for diffuse myocardial fibrosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with postcontrast T1 mapping was performed to non-invasively quantify diffuse myocardial fibrosis in HCM patients who were classified into two groups (T1
