Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Age-related cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent heart failure are predicted to become increasingly serious problems in aging populations. Progranulin (PGRN) deficiency is known to be associated with accelerated aging in the brain. We aimed to evaluate the effects of PGRN deficiency on cardiac aging, including left ventricular hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Echocardiography was performed on wild-type (WT)...
