In other groups, miR-1 was found to be negatively correlated with NT-proBNP (for CAD + DM r = −0.882, p < 0.001; for HF + DM r = −0.891, p < 0.001) and galectin-3 (for DM r = −0.371, p < 0.05; for CAD + DM r = −0.754, p < 0.001; for HF + DM r = −0.866, p < 0.001). Here, NPPB is linked to coronary artery disorder.
