Is low adiponectin levels more sensitive predictor of in-stent restenosis: new questions and challenges

Int J Cardiol. 2010 Oct 8;144(2):236; author reply 237-8. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2008.12.203. Epub 2009 Feb 1.

Abstract

Predicting in-stent restenosis has been subject of many investigations. Several candidates have also been proposed such as CRP. However, recent findings suggested that adiponectin may be a more sensitive marker for in-stent restenosis. These initial results should be confirmed by other large scale prospective trials.
