Predictive value of telomere length on outcome following acute myocardial infarction: Evidence for contrasting effects of vascular vs. blood oxidative stress

Abstract:
Aims: Experimental evidence suggests that telomere length (TL) is shortened by oxidative DNA damage, reflecting biological aging. We explore the value of blood (BTL) and vascular (VTL) TL as biomarkers of systemic/vascular oxidative stress in humans and test the clinical predictive value of BTL in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results: In a prospective cohort of 290 patients surviving recent AMI, BTL measured on admission was a strong predict... Expand abstract
