Core Tip	Coronary collateral development is an important adaptive response in chronic total occlusion. This study shows that serum adiponectin is independently associated with well-developed coronary collateral circulation, while circulating basic fibroblast growth factor has limited predictive value. The results show that adiponectin serves as a useful clinical biomarker and risk stratification for collateral assessment and ischemia, respectively. It also shows the complementary roles of metabolic and angiogenic pathways in adaptive coronary vascular remodeling.
