Background The relationship between adiponectin and coronary spastic angina (CSA), both of which are closely involved in coronary endothelial dysfunction, has not been elucidated. Methods and Results Plasma adiponectin concentrations were examined in 55 men with CSA and 55 with chest pain syndrome (CPS). The plasma log-adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with CSA than with CPS (0.61±0.28 vs 0.80±0.21μg/ml, p<0.0001). The prevalence of smoking was significantly higher in the CSA patients than in those with CPS (50.9% vs 29.1%, p=0.0195). In multiple logistic regression analysis, log-adiponectin (p=0.0008) and smoking (p=0.0210) were independent determinants of CSA. Conclusions Hypoadiponectinemia is a potential risk factor for CSA in men, independent of smoking.
