Short Leukocyte Telomere Length Precedes Clinical Expression of Atherosclerosis

14 Dec 2017

Abstract excerpt

Rationale: Short telomere length (TL) in leukocytes is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). It is unknown whether this relationship stems from having inherently short leukocyte TL (LTL) at birth or a faster LTL attrition thereafter. LTL represents TL in the highly proliferative hematopoietic system, whereas TL in skeletal muscle represents a minimally replicative tissue. Objective: We...
