Telomere attrition in heart failure: a flow-FISH longitudinal analysis of circulating monocytes

Abstract Background Cross-sectional investigations report shorter telomeres in patients with heart failure (HF); however, no studies describe telomere length (TL) trajectory and its relationship with HF progression. Here we aimed to investigate telomere shortening over time and its relationship to o...
