Aerobic exercise improved cardiac function and decreased cardiac apoptosis and fibrosis by modulating the expression of a few long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs): growth arrest specific 5 (GAS5), myocardial-infarction-association transcript (MIAT), metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1), and H19 (encoded by the H19 gene) [111]. Here, MALAT1 is linked to infarction.
