Background

Human resistin is a cysteine-rich peptide with a mature sequence consisting of 108 amino acid. Several studies indicated that resistin levels are related with several cardiovascular risk factors, presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The increase in the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assesed by ultrasound is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. There is no data in the literature about the relationship between serum resistin level and carotid IMT.

Objective

To evaluate the association between resistin levels with carotid IMT in non-diabetic patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography (CAG).
