Baseline epicardial adipose tissue adiponectin levels predict cardiovascular outcomes: a long-term follow-up study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Adiponectin is an anti-atherogenic insulin-sensitizer hormone whose plasma concentration is lower in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Visceral adiposity, including epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), is closely related to the development of MS and coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to study whether ...
