Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common causes of death in the world. Numerous studies have shown that as the degree of atherosclerotic disease increases, leukocyte telomere length gradually decreases. Short telomeres increase the risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death. However, the reported results are not consistent, since the experimental design method, the measurement method, and the disease outcome are different. Therefore, we searched five major literature databases (Pubmed, Web of science, Embase, CNKI, and Wangfang) and finally included 18 eligible articles (including 5,150 patients with CHD and 9341 controls). We found that telomere length in patients with CHD was significantly shorter than that in controls, and the telomere length was inversely correlated with the severity of CHD. Subgroup analysis showed that telomere shortening was the most significant in Asian patients with CHD, in CHD patients with an average age <65 years, and in men with CHD. The mechanism of shortening the telomere length leading to the occurrence and development of CHD is worthy of further study.

Background Shortened telomere length has been associated with mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and is considered an emerging marker of biological age. Whether short telomere length is associated with depression in patients with CHD has not been evaluated. Methods In a cross-sectional study of 952 outpatients with stable CHD, we ascertained the presence of major depressive disorder using the Computerized Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Relative mean telomere length was measured from leukocyte DNA using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. We examined the association between depression and leukocyte telomere length using linear and logistic regression models. Results Of the 952 participants, 206 (22%) had current (past month) depression. Patients with depression had lower mean ± SE telomere length than those without depression ( Table ). Likewise, patients with MDD had a 70% greater odds of having telomere length in the lowest vs. highest quartile (adjusted OR 1.70. 95% CI, 1.05-2.76; p=0.03). Conclusion Major depressive disorder is associated with reduced leukocyte telomere length in patients with stable CHD. The potential mechanisms underlying this association deserve further study.
