Background: Compared to patients without a collateral supply, long-term cardiac mortality is reduced in patients with well-developed coronary collateral circulation (CCC). Cardiovascular risk markers, such as N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) are independent predictors for cardiovascular mortality.Objectives: The main goal of this study was to examine the relationship between CCC and cardiovascular risk markers.Methods: We prospectively enrolled 427 stable coronary artery disease patients with chronic total occlusion (mean age: 57.511.1 years). The patients were divided into two groups, according to their Rentrop scores: (a) poorly developed CCC group (Rentrop 0 and 1) and (b) well-developed CCC group (Rentrop 2 and 3). NT-proBNP, hs-CRP, hs-cTnT, uric acid and other biochemical markers were also measured. The SYNTAX score was calculated for all patients.Results: The patients in the poorly developed CCC group had higher frequencies of diabetes and hypertension (p
