The Association between Short Telomere Length and Cardiovascular Disease
In our study, shorter TL was observed in cardiac disease patients compared to those of healthy controls by using metaphase Q-FISH. However, more cases need to be studied to elucidate the use of TL as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of patients with CVD.
