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