Endocan is a possible immunoinflammatory indicator associated with cardiovascular disease. Patients with AGA appear to be at an increased risk of developing CAD, therefore, clinical evaluation of cases with AGA of grade II is recommended The carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a powerful indicator of future cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disorders.
