Figure 1From: Comparative expression profiles of microRNA in left and right atrial appendages from patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease exhibiting sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation The numbers of miRNAs detected in SR-RAA, SR-LAA, AF-RAA and AF-LAA using miRNA microarray assay. (A) A total of 258 miRNAs were detected (in SR-RAA, SR-LAA, AF-RAA, or AF-LAA). In the SR-RAA, SR-LAA, AF-RAA, and AF-LAA groups 164, 155, 216, and 208 miRNAs were expressed, respectively. (B) 178 miRNAs were expressed in SR patients (SR-RAA or SR-LAA), while 250 miRNAs were expressed in AF patients (AF-RAA or AF-LAA). (C) 235 miRNAs were expressed in RAA tissues (SR-RAA or AF-RAA), while 213 miRNAs were expressed in LAA tissues (SR-LAA or AF-LAA).Back to article page
