Abstract:
:We evaluated the association between plasma adiponectin and functional capacity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Similarly to NT-proBNP, plasma adiponectin was elevated in CHF compared to healthy controls. Adiponectin correlated inversely with peak oxygen consumption and 6-minute walking distance and was able to identify CHF patients with impaired exercise capacity. Our findings support a role of adiponectin as an index of heart failure severity.
