Fig 3. Serial miR129-5p expression in univentricular heart failure patients.

Serial plasma samples from three patients were evaluated for miR129-5p expression and plotted relative to Ross score at the time of sample collection. Two patients had undergone partial cavopulmonary connection surgery (Stage II), one with morphological RV and one with morphological LV. One patient had undergone completion of cavopulmonary connection (i.e., extracardiac Fontan; Stage III) and had a morphological RV. In each patient, miR129-5p expression was downregulated with increasing Ross score. Data shown are mean ± SEM (n = 3).
