A fuse of cardiovascular diseases

(Hiroshima University) A promising biomarker for the severity of age-related white matter changes and endothelial function was evaluated at Hiroshima University, Japan. The researchers at Hiroshima University investigated the association between the telomeric 3'-overhang length of leukocytes and vascular risk, ARWMCs, and endothelial function. They suggested that the telomere G-tail might be a useful marker of endothelial dysfunction, as well as stroke and dementia.
