Research overview

Our study aimed to identify the difference in exosomal miRNA and further explore its role in the diagnosis of POAF. Our study revealed that exosomal miRNAs exert enormous potential in evaluating the severity or prognostic of POAF.

Key findings

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication associated with increased periprocedural mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery.

Our study aimed to identify the difference in exosomal miRNA and further explore its role in the diagnosis of POAF.

First, the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were obtained by high-throughput RNA sequencing.

Second, the DEMs target genes were put into gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis.
