Cardiac-Referenced Leukocyte Telomere Length and Outcomes After Cardiovascular Surgery
1 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Leukocyte telomere shortening reflects stress burdens and has been associated with cardiac events. However, the patient-specific clinical value of telomere assessment remains unknown. Moreover, telomere shortening cannot be inferred from a single telomere length assessment. The authors investigated and developed a novel strategy for gauging leukocyte telomere shortening using autologous cardiac atrial...
