Severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with circulating microRNAs related to heart failure, myocardial ischemia, and cancer proliferation.

CONCLUSION: Severe OSA is independently associated with miRNAs that are involved in heart failure (miR-1254), myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (miR-320e), and cell proliferation in some cancer types (miR-1254 and miR-320e). Future investigations addressing whether these miRs may provide prognostic information in OSA are needed. PMID: 31898194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
