Abstract: Atrial fibrosis plays an important role in atrial fibrillation (AF). MicroRNAs(miRNAs) contribute to atrial fibrosis by targeting the genes related to fibrosis. Therefore, the study on the mechanistic association between miRNAs and atrial fibrosis may provide new insights for diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation.

Key words: microRNA, atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrosis
