The expression levels of plasma micoRNAs in atrial fibrillation patients.

<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNA (miRNA) has been found in human blood. It has been increasingly suggested that miRNAs may serve as biomarkers for diseases. We examined the potential of circulating miRNA to serve as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF).<h4>Methodology/principal findin...
