Study of leurocyte telomere lenght and transcription in patients in the acute phase of myocardial infarction

2011

Atherosclerosis with cardiovascular complications remains today one of the leading causes of death in developed countries. In this context, development of new biomarkers of atherosclerosis has an important place. Objectives of these biomarkers are: • to identify populations most at risk of developing cardiovascular complications, • to stratify patient groups to optimize their clinical management and therapeutic, • to reveal new therapeutic targets in the treatment of the disease. In this context, we identified three biomarkers of interest, leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and level of expression of leukocyte genes c-Fos (involved in inflammatory processes and oxidative) and OGG1 (necessary r…
