Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Transcriptomics Identifies a Small Set of Circulating Biomarkers and Signaling Pathways Dysregulated in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

JACC Heart FailPublished multicenter case-control study

Authors' conclusion

Comprehensive plasma transcriptomics profiling identified a small set of circulating miRNAs to distinguish HCM from other cardiomyopathies with LVH.

Study context

Population
Cases with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and controls with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), and aortic stenosis (AS)patients by disease group · HCM 294 · hypertensive LVH 321 · ATTR-CM 167 · AS 38
Index test or model
Logistic regression model using the 3 selected plasma microRNA (miRNAs) to distinguish HCM from other cardiomyopathies with LVH (hypertensive LVH, ATTR-CM, AS)
Target condition
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)
