Short Telomere Length and Ischemic Heart Disease: Observational and Genetic Studies in 290 022 Individuals.

Clinical chemistry - 1 Aug 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Short telomeres are associated with aging and have been associated with a high risk of ischemic heart disease in observational studies; however, the latter association could be due to residual confounding and/or reverse causation. We wanted to test the hypothesis that short telomeres are associated with high risk of ischemic heart disease using a Mendelian randomization approach free of reverse...
