Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how the length of telomeres (which are parts of our DNA) can help predict heart problems in people with coronary artery disease (CAD).
- They studied 366 CAD patients and 76 healthy people, finding that CAD patients had shorter telomeres. The shorter telomeres were linked to more serious heart issues.
- The results showed that measuring telomere length can help doctors identify patients at risk of having major heart problems in the near future.
This study aimed to explore leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in the prediction of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 359 CAD patients who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled in this study. Severity of coronary artery was assessed by Gensini score (GS).

Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the following groups (n=10/group): Sham operation; I/R; HMGB50 (50 ng/kg HMGB1 before I/R); HMGB100 (100 ng/kg HMGB1 before I/R); and HMGB200 (200 ng/kg HMGB1 before I/R). Serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI), interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels were subsequently measured.
