Our prospective data showed that leucocyte telomere length was similar between AF and non-AF patients but was significantly longer in male patients with PAF than those without AF in our subgroup analysis. Our meta-analysis found that t/s did not predict AF. These findings support the notion that chronological aging, but not markers of biological aging, predicts the risk of AF.
