Validation of expression of miRNAs by Taqman real-time PCR. Taqman real-time PCR was performed in 55 HCM patients (n = 28 for T₁ ≥ 470 ms and n = 27 for T₁ < 470 ms) to validate the findings from miRNA array. In addition, circulating markers of collagen turnover, aminoterminal propeptide of type I collagen (PINP) and aminoterminal propeptide of type III collagen (PIIINP) was measured. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
