Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is relatively short in individuals who have evidence of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the link between LTL and the predisposition to atherosclerosis, as determined by carotid artery intimal medial thickness (IMT) in participants of the Framingham Offspring Study. METHODS AND RESULTS: LTL was assayed by the mean length of...
