Abstract
The non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are indispensable for controlling genes and genetic programming during development, as well as for health and cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac arrhythmia is a frequent cardiovascular disease, which has a complex pathology. Recent studies have shown that ncRNAs are also associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Many non-coding RNAs and/or genomes have been reported as a genetic background for cardiac arrhythmias. Arrhythmias may be affected by several functional and structural changes in the myocardium. Therefore, ncRNAs might be indispensable regulators of gene expression in cardiomyocytes, which could play a dynamic role in regulating the stability of cardiac conduction and/or in the remodeling process. Although it remains almost unclear how ncRNAs regulate the expression of molecules for controlling the cardiac conduction and/or in the remodeling process, gut microbiota and immune system within the intricate networks might be involved in the regulatory mechanisms. This study would discuss them and provide a research basis for ncRNAs modulation, which might support the development of emerging innovative therapies against cardiac arrhythmias.
