Abstract: MicroRNAs have emerged as an important regulator of post-transcriptional gene expression
studied extensively in many cancers, fetal development, and cardiovascular diseases.
Their endogenous nature and easy manipulation have made them potential diagnostic and therapeutic
molecules. Diseases with complex pathophysiology such as Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
display symptoms at a late stage when the risk of heart failure has become very high. Therefore,
the utilization of microRNAs as a tool to study pathophysiology and device-sustainable treatments
for DCM could be considered. The present review focuses on the mechanistic insights of
diabetic cardiomyopathy and the potential role of microRNAs.
