Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been indicated as practical and promising biomarkers for various diseases. However, circulating miRNAs have not been found to be biomarkers for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to congenital heart disease. PAH is defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) >25 mmHg at rest. Blood samples and lung tissues were collected from patients with severe PAH due to ventricular septal defect (VSD) (PAH group, mPAP >45 mmHg, n=14) and patients with VSD but non-PAH (control group, mPAP
