Leukocyte Telomere Length Shortening Implies Plaque Instability and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Angiographically Intermediate Lesions

Leukocyte Telomere Length Shortening Implies Plaque Instability and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Angiographically Intermediate Lesions

BackgroundTelomere shortening, an indicator of aging, is associated with age-related diseases. This study aims to investigate the association between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and thin-capped fibroatheromata (TCFA) and the impact of using LTL cutoff to determine the incidence of major adverse...
