The Relationship Between Serum Vaspin Levels and the Degree of Coronary Involvement in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris

Abstract

Aim: Vaspin is an insulin-sensitive adipokine secreted from visceral fat tissue, and belongs to the serine protease inhibitor family. The relationship between vaspin level and coronary artery disease is not known yet. We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum vaspin levels and degree of vessel involvement in coronary angiography in patients with stable angina pectoris.
