The expression levels of the lncRNAs HIF1A antisense RNA (aHIF), antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 Locus (ANRIL), KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1), myocardial infarction associated transcrip (MIAT), and metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) may be associated with acute myocardial infarction(Vausort et al., 2014). Here, MALAT1 is linked to acute myocardial infarction.
