Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, the prevalence of which increases with age. Slowing down senescence is one of the urgent challenges of modern science. Therefore, it is important to identify individuals with markers of premature cellular senescence for further development of pharmacological agents capable of slowing it. Assuming that in AF, signs of cellular senescence emerge earlier than in individuals without AF we performed search, analysis and systematization of studies of the relationship between markers of cellular senescence, including the leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and the plasma concentration of galectin-3 in patients with AF. In most of the reviewed studies, the concentration of galectin-3 was significantly higher in patients with AF than in practically healthy individuals, while the LTL did not differ significantly between these groups. Accordingly, the signs of cellular senescence appeared earlier in patients with AF than in practically healthy individuals. Further clinical studies of cellular senescence markers in patients with AF are promising and call for large multicenter studies with a uniform design and methodology.
期刊介绍:
“Kardiologiya” (Cardiology) is a monthly scientific, peer-reviewed journal committed to both basic cardiovascular medicine and practical aspects of cardiology.
As the leader in its field, “Kardiologiya” provides original coverage of recent progress in cardiovascular medicine. We publish state-of-the-art articles integrating clinical and research activities in the fields of basic cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology, with a focus on emerging issues in cardiovascular disease. Our target audience spans a diversity of health care professionals and medical researchers working in cardiovascular medicine and related fields.
The principal language of the Journal is Russian, an additional language – English (title, authors’ information, abstract, keywords).
“Kardiologiya” is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. All articles are reviewed by scientists, who gained high international prestige in cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology. The Journal is currently cited and indexed in major Abstracting & Indexing databases: Web of Science, Medline and Scopus.
The Journal''s primary objectives
Contribute to raising the professional level of medical researchers, physicians and academic teachers.
