Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that, besides type 2 diabetes (T2D) and body mass index (BMI), circulating adiponectin concentration would be associated with variants of the ADIPOQ gene in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We also assessed the influence of these confounders on the prognostic value of adiponectin. METHODS: Plasma adiponectin was measured at entry and after 3 months in approximately 1200...
