Accelerated ageing has been observed in individuals with structural heart disease such as valvular heart disease or congenital heart disease. Heart failure is often associated with end-organ damage including liver disease, renal dysfunction, thyroid dysfunction and progressive cachexia. We will investigate the transcriptional profile of proinflammatory transposable elements derived RNAs on biopsies derived from patients undergoing heart transplantation due to major heart failure.
