High baseline fetuin-A levels are associated with lower atherosclerotic plaque progression as measured by 3D ultrasound.

When we investigated the association of fetuin-A levels with plaque progression we found a highly significant negative correlation with TPP (r = −0.244, p = 0.001), with the carotid plaque progression (r = −0.17, p = 0.02) and an even stronger negative correlation with femoral plaque progression (r = −0.20, p = 0.007).
