Background and aims Extra-coronary calcification (ECC) is a marker of atherosclerosis and
independently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipokines may mediate the …

Objectives: We evaluated the hypothesis that plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin are
independently but oppositely associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure …

Objective: The association of plasma adipokines beyond waist circumference (WC) with
coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, is unknown …

Background and aims Adipokines are known to predict cardiovascular events, yet their
association with coronary artery calcium (CAC), a surrogate marker of coronary …

Objectives: This study sought to determine whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume
predicts the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in the general …

Background Adipokines play a role in cardiometabolic pathways. Coronary artery calcium
(CAC) progression prognosticates cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. However, the …

Purpose Adipokines have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Our aim was to determine if adipokine levels are associated with coronary artery calcification …

Adipokines regulate metabolic processes linked to coronary artery (CAC) and abdominal
aorta calcification (AAC). Because adipokine and other adiposity-associated inflammatory …

OBJECTIVE: Perivascular fat through the secretion of paracrine and pro-inflammatory
mediators may play a role in obesity-mediated vascular disease. We sought to examine …

Background: Severe abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) points to high cardiovascular risk
and leptin stimulates arterial calcification; however, clinical data on their association are …
