Decreased Peripheral Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number is Associated with the Risk of Heart Failure and Long-term Outcomes
1 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number variation (CNV), which reflects the oxidant-induced cell damage, has been observed in a wide range of human diseases. However, whether it correlates with heart failure, which is closely related to oxidative stress, has never been elucidated before. We aimed to systematically investigate the associations between leukocyte mtDNA CNV and heart failure risk and prognosis. A total...
