On the other hand, the samples from diabetic HF patients submitted to the left ventricle-assisted device (LVAD) have shown that several autophagic markers such as LC3B, ATG3, and Beclin-1 were upregulated and associated with a decrease in the levels of miR-133a when compared with non-diabetic HF patients (124). This evidence concerns the gene ATG3 and hydrops fetalis.
