Telomere Length and the Risk of Atrial Fibrillation: Insights into the Role of Biological versus Chronological Aging

BACKGROUND: Advanced age is the most important risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), however the mechanism remains unknown. Telomeres, regions of DNA that shorten with cell division, are considered reliable markers of biological aging. We sought to examine the association between leukocyte telom...
