Much has been learned about transcriptional control of cardiac gene expression in clinical and experimental congestive heart failure (CHF), but less is known about dynamic regulation of microRNAs (miRs) in CHF and during CHF treatment. We performed comprehensive microarray profiling of miRs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in myocardial specimens from human CHF with (n=10) or without (n=17) biomechanical support from left ventricular assist devices in comparison to nonfailing hearts (n=11).
