Determinants of Serum High Molecular Weight (HMW) Adiponectin Levels in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: Associations with Cardio-renal-anemia Syndrome

Objective A low serum adiponectin level is associated with a high incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the healthy population. Paradoxically, serum adiponectin is elevated in patients with severe CAD or chronic heart failure. We investigated the determinants of serum high molecular weight (...

Zusammenfassung:Objective A low serum adiponectin level is associated with a high incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the healthy population. Paradoxically, serum adiponectin is elevated in patients with severe CAD or chronic heart failure. We investigated the determinants of serum high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in patients with CAD. Patients and Methods We studied 228 consecutive patients with CAD confirmed by angiography. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin of
