Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias in adults, with high morbidity and increased mortality risk. In recent years, the clinical diagnosis, treatment, and mechanistic research of AF have increased exponentially, and regulation based on the potential molecular mechanism of AF is a research hotspot. Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs), usually refer to noncoding RNA transcripts greater than 200 nucleotides in length, have been shown to play a role in cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and myocardial fibrosis through various regulatory methods. An increasing number of researchers have begun to pay attention to the identification and function of LncRNAs in AF. This article reviews changes in the expression of related LncRNAs detected in AF and describes the LncRNAs that play a regulatory role in AF-related processes, to explore the potential of LncRNAs as new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in AF.
