    Abstract: Angiopoietins (Angpt) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been associated with cardiovascular disease. The study enrolled 270 pre-dialysis stage 3-5 CKD patients to assess the link between circulating Angpt2, Angpt1 and VEGF-A and subclinical measures of cardiovascular structure and function. Serum markers of angiogenesis were measured using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Cardiac structure and function were examined by echocardiography. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured by the ankle-brachial index. The adjusted mean of left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was 2.05 in patients of Angpt2 quartile 4 and 1.99 in those of Angpt2 quartile 1 (P = 0.04). Angpt2 was significantly associated with LV hypertrophy (LVH) (Angpt2 quartile 4 compared with Angpt2 quartile 1: adjusted OR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.15-6.20). Angpt1 was negatively correlated with left atrial diameter (adjusted mean of LAD: 3.59 in Angpt1 quartile 4, 3.92 in Angpt1 quartile 1, P = 0.03). A positive and significant correlation was found between Angpt2 level and baPWV in spearman's correlation, but not in adjusted model. In conclusion, high Angpt2 and low Angpt1 levels were positively associated with abnormal cardiac structure in stages 3-5 CKD patients, which is compatible with the viewpoint that angiopoietins participates in cardiovascular burdens.
