Objective: To investigate the correlation between the plasma miRNAs levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute cerebral infarction in early stage. Methods: Seven hundred and one patients with acute cerebral infraction addmitted in Gongli Hospital during Jan. 2014 to Nov. 2016 were enrolled, and patients were divided into two groups: group with AF(70 cases) and group without AF (631 cases), and 65 healthy cases were served as controls. Clinical data and miRNAs levels between the 3 groups were analyzed, and miRNAs levels were also compared between paroxysmal and persistent AF. Multivariate regression analysis was used to determine the contribution of plasma miRNAs variables to the presence of atrial fibrillation in patients with cerebral infarction in early stage. Results: Plasma levels of miR-328, miR-29b and miR-150 differed significantly between group with AF, group without AF and control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Different from miR-328 and miR-150, plasma level of miR-29b in cerebral infarction patients with paroxysmal AF was significantly lower than those in group without AF and controls (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the specific miRNAs, miR-328, miR-29b and miR-150 were significantly associated with AF and miR-29b was significantly related to paroxysmal AF in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Conclusions: Levels of some specific plasma miRNAs, especially the miR-29b level might be used as predictor for the existing of AF in patients with acute cerebral infraction in early stage.
