8 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Telomere defects are thought to play a role in cardiomyopathies, but the specific cell type affected by the disease in human hearts is not yet identified. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the cell type specificity of telomere shortening in patients with heart failure in relation to their cardiac disease, age, and sex. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied cardiac tissues from patients...
