Key result
The clinical role of adiponectin in cardiovascular disease remains obscure, as high levels are paradoxically associated with poorer prognosis in heart failure despite its anti-atherogenic properties.
The prognostic value of circulating adiponectin levels in cardiovascular disease is complex and context-dependent, requiring cautious interpretation.

Requires cautious interpretation of adiponectin levels in heart failure; leaves open resolution of its paradoxical prognostic associations.
Antoniades et al. (2009) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Adiponectin was evaluated. The clinical role of adiponectin in cardiovascular disease remains obscure, as high levels are paradoxically associated with poorer prognosis in heart failure despite its anti-atherogenic properties.
