pubmed:abstractText |
Inflammation is a key process in atherosclerotic formation. Structural changes in the carotid arterial wall including detection of focal plaques are measured as the intima-media thickness (IMT) providing an index of atheroma. Coronary arterial plaques may be considered as vascular structural changes. Distensibility of the arteries can be assessed by functional changes in pulse wave velocity (PWV) providing an index of sclerosis. Adiponectin has potential antiatherosclerotic properties. We hypothesized that adiponectin was associated with atherosclerotic vascular changes involved in inflammation.
