Despite significant advances in understanding of the causes of and treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) in recent years, morbidity and mortality is still high. The aim of this study was to identify mi
RNA
and genes potentially associated with MI.
mRNA
and mi
RNA
expression datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/
). Interactions between mi
RNA
and the expression and function of target genes were analyzed, and a protein–protein interaction network was constructed. The diagnostic value of identified mi
RNA
and genes was assessed. Quantitative RT‐PCR was applied to validate the results of the bioinformatics analysis. MiR‐27a, miR‐31*, miR‐1291, miR‐139‐5p, miR‐204, miR‐375, and target genes including

had potential diagnostic value. The genes

were associated with recovery from MI. In conclusion, the identified mi
RNA
and genes might be associated with the pathology of MI.
