Figure 3.

Changes in myocardial expression of the microRNAs (miRs) miR-483-3p and miR-1202 between the time of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and time of subsequent cardiac transplantation. There were paired samples from the time of LVAD implantation and time of cardiac transplantation from 10 patients. The median time to transplantation was 200 (133–299) days. After LVAD support, there was up-regulation of myocardial miR-483–3p expression [A, median fold change 1.799 (0.717–4.719; P = 0.169)], but no significant change in myocardial miR-1202 expression [B, median fold change 0.988 (0.808–1.070; P = 0.575)]. Each line represents one patient.
