Leukocyte Telomere Length and Cardiac Structure and Function: A Mendelian Randomization Study
2023-09-14
Abstract excerpt
Existing research demonstrates association of shorter telomere length (TL) with increased risk of agerelated health outcomes including cardiovascular diseases. However, the direct causality of these relationships is not definitively established. Cardiovascular aging at an organ-level may be captured using image derived phenotypes (IDPs) of cardiac anatomy and function. In the current study, we use two-sample Mende...
