Abstract
PURPOSE: The telomere length is shown to act as a biomarker, especially for biological aging and cardiovascular diseases, and it is also suggested that with this correlation, increased exposure to the oxidative stress accelerates the vascular aging process. Therefore, this study aims to understand the correlation between the plasma oxidative stress index (OSI) status and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and cardiologic parameters between the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) groups. METHOD: One hundred one newly diagnosed patients with STEMI (n = 55) and NSTEMI (n = 46) were included in the study, along with 100 healthy controls who matched the patients in terms of age and gender. Plasma total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and LTL were measured. RESULTS: When LTL, TAS, TOS, and OSI values were evaluated between the patient and control group, OSI (p = 0.000) and LTL (p = 0.05) values were statistically significant in the patient group compared to the control group. Evaluation was conducted to understand whether there is a difference between the STEMI and NSTEMI groups. The plasma OSI (p = 0.007) and LTL (p = 0.05) were found to be significantly lower in STEMI patients. However, LTL and OSI results were not statistically significant in NSTEMI patients. CONCLUSION: This is the first study evaluating telomere length and oxidative stress in STEMI and NSTEMI patients in Turkey. Our results support the existence of short telomere length in STEMI patients. Future studies on telomere length and oxidative stress will support the importance of our findings.
