Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), an independent diabetes complication, is characterized by abnormalities in myocardial structure, function, and metabolism, including diminished myocardial contractility, myocardial hypertrophy, and fibrosis. Factors such as hyperglycemia, metabolic disorders, microangiopathy, inflammation, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance have been found to play important roles in DCM pathophysiology.

Recent research has shown that miRNAs are involved in processes such as myocardial cell proliferation, differentiation, and metastasis, and promote the progression of DCM. Despite these insights, the regulatory effects of miRNAs on immune function in DCM remain inadequately explored.
