Abstract excerpt

Telomere length has emerged as a biological correlate for ageing, which in turn is a risk factor for the manifestation of cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated the relation between leucocyte telomere length (LTL) and its genetic background to cardiac structure and function in patients with arterial hypertension. We analysed a cohort of 1,106 treated hypertensive patients (83.3% males; mean age,...
