    Background: Cardiovascular problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) as a marker of endothelial dysfunction, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) as a marker of subclinical organ damage and insulin resistance (IR) as a cardiovascular risk factor in patients with ADPKD. Methods: Twenty-two normotensive ADPKD patients with well-preserved renal function and 19 healthy subjects were included in the study. Creatinine clearances were calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula. The homeostasis model of IR (HOMA-IR) was used to measure IR. CIMT was measured by high-resolution vascular ultrasound. CFVR was calculated as the ratio of hyperaemic to baseline diastolic peak velocities by echocardiography. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding age, gender, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. However, CIMT and HOMA-IR were significantly increased and CFVR was significantly decreased in patients with ADPKD compared with healthy subjects. Conclusions: The findings of decreased CFVR, increased CIMT and increased IR suggest that cardiovascular risk is elevated even in the early stages of ADPKD.
