Figure 1 shows their linear relationship. In contrast, lack of correlations was seen between CHA2DS2-VASc score and resistin and adiponectin levels (Table 5). An analysis of individual components of the CHA2DS2-VASc score showed that hypertension, female gender, and diabetes had the greatest impact on the elevated serum leptin level (Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene RETN and diabetes mellitus.
