Emerging evidence has supported the protective role exerted by lncRNA SNHG1 in cardiomyocytes against hypertrophy,11 drug toxicity12 and apoptosis13; and it has further been suggested by Luo et al., that SNHG1 may alleviate sepsis‐induced cardiomyopathy through a microRNA (miRNA)‐dependent regulatory mechanism.14 Here, SNHG1 is linked to cardiomyopathy.
