Additional evidence confirms that adiponectin levels are positively correlated with indicators of diastolic dysfunction: left ventricular pressure half-time in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [58], E/E’ ratio in HF patients with metabolic syndrome [55] or CVD patients [57] and DT in CAD patients [59]. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
