However, due to the lack of success in 30% of the cases, there is a demand for an in-depth analysis of individual heterogeneity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of circulating miRNA differences. Responder patients were defined by a composite endpoint of the presence of left ventricular reverse remodelling (a reduction ≥15% in telesystolic volume and an increment ≥10% in left ventricular ejection fraction). Circulating miRNAs signature was analysed at the time of the procedure and at a 6-month follow-up. An expression analysis showed, both at baseline and at follow-up, differences between responders and non-responders. Responders presented lower baseline expressions of miR-499, and at follow-up, downregulation of miR-125b-5p, both associated with a significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction. The miRNA profile differences showed a marked sensitivity to distinguish between responders and non-responders. Our data suggest that miRNA differences might contribute to prognostic stratification of patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy and suggest that preimplant cardiac context as well as remodelling response are key to therapeutic success PB MDPI YR 2022 FD 2022 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32181 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32181 LA eng NO Moscoso, I.; Cebro-Márquez, M.; Martínez-Gómez, Á.; Abou-Jokh, C.; Martínez-Monzonís, M.A.; Martínez-Sande, J.L.; González-Melchor, L.; García-Seara, J.; Fernández-López, X.A.; Moraña-Fernández, S.; et al.
