Key result
MicroRNAs demonstrated significant diagnostic value for atrial fibrillation, yielding a pooled sensitivity of 0.80, specificity of 0.75, and a diagnostic odds ratio of 11.80.
Why the study?
To determine the correlation between miRNA expression and the development of AF, and to evaluate the potential importance of genetic factors in AF diagnosis.
Do microRNAs have high diagnostic accuracy as biomarkers for atrial fibrillation?

Odds Ratio: 11.8 (95% CI 6.79–20.5)
p-value: p=<0.01
MicroRNAs demonstrate good diagnostic accuracy for atrial fibrillation, with miR-425-5p showing particularly high sensitivity, suggesting their potential role as diagnostic biomarkers.

Rizal et al. (2023) conducted a meta-analysis in Atrial fibrillation (n=1,065). microRNAs (miRNAs) vs. Sinus rhythm was evaluated on Diagnostic performance for atrial fibrillation (DOR 11.80, 95% CI 6.79-20.50, p=<0.01). MicroRNAs demonstrated significant diagnostic value for atrial fibrillation, yielding a pooled sensitivity of 0.80, specificity of 0.75, and a diagnostic odds ratio of 11.80.
