Objective Emerging evidence suggests a role for resistin in inflammation and vascular dysfunction, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. We detected serum level of resistin, and examined the association between the serum resistin levels with risk for essential hypertension (EH).
Methods Totally 81 subjects including normal blood pressure with sinus rhythm (n=20) and essential hypertension with sinus rhythm (n=31), essential hypertension with atrial fibrillation (n=30) were enrolled i...
