Accelerated Telomere Shortening in Leukocyte Subpopulations of Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
22 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Shortening of mean telomere length (TL) in white blood cells is correlated with the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) and with increased mortality due to infectious disease. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether telomere shortening in CHD is restricted to specific peripheral blood lymphocyte and/or myeloid cell subpopulations. Results were correlated to TL in CD34+...
