Blood Vessels Adiponectin and Arterial Stiffness
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipocytokine, is reduced in hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease (CAD). Arterial stiffness, as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) in hypertension and diabetes, and as augmentation index (AIx) in CAD, is independently associated with cardiovascular mortality. We explored the relationship between adiponectin and arterial stiffness in essential hypertension.

Arterial Stiffness and its Correlation with the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease
Introduction: Coronary artery disease secondary to atherosclerosis is the most common cause of mortality. Coronary angiography is the most precise method for determining the extent of disease in the coronary vascular bed. Arterial stiffness has been proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis in some studies. One of the noninvasive methods for the determination of arterial stiffness is Doppler echo...
متن کاملLow serum adiponectin level is associated with metabolic syndrome and is an independent marker of peripheral arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients
BACKGROUND Adiponectin has been implicated in metabolic syndrome (MetS) and arterial stiffness (AS). We aim to determine the relationship between serum adiponectin concentration as well as peripheral AS in hypertensive patients. METHODS Fasting blood samples were obtained from 101 hypertensive patients. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured with an automatic pulse wave analy...
متن کاملPresentation of a Non-invasive Method of Estimating Arterial Stiffness by Modeling Blood Flow and Arterial Wall Based on the Determination of Elastic Module of Arterial Wall
Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. Several indices have been introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. Since the substitution of the blood pressure changes in the central arteries such as carotid with the blood pressure changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...
متن کاملLow serum adiponectin level is predictor of arterial stiffness in new onset diabetes after renal transplantation
Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the level of adiponectin in serum of renal transplant patients is associated with arterial stiffness related to new onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT). Methods: A total of 90 previously non-diabetic patients who underwent renal transplantation between 1999 and 2009 were enrolled. We evaluated their diabetic risk factors, l...
متن کاملComment on: Tsiakou et al. Arterial Stiffness Is Inversely Related to Plasma Adiponectin Levels in Young Normotensive Patients With Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2013;36:734–736
We read the article by Tsiakou et al. (1) with great interest. This study showed a negative association between plasma adiponectin concentrations and arterial stiffness in young type 1 diabetic patients without complications. However, we recently showed a positive association between plasma adiponectin concentrations and arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes (2). Adiponectin has a...
