Abstract
Aging is a major factor in many cardiovascular diseases. The molecular factors that regulate age-related changes in cardiac physiology and contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk in the elderly are not fully understood. A study recently published in Nature suggests a specific role for microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating cardiac aging and function, challenging the concept that aging is an inevitable process in the heart.Entities:
