Abstract

Background The exact relation of fibronectin with coronary atherosclerosis is unknown. The aim of the present study was to examine the association of fibronectin level with presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid artery (CCA).
