The results suggest that TAFI levels are independently associated to dyslipidemia and that the polymorphism rs3742264 may be related to cardiovascular risk in male subjects.
Dyslipidemia and TAFIThr325Ile polymorphism were the main variables associated with recanalization resistance by the end of t-PA infusion: odds ratio (OR) 4.1 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.6-10.8, P = 0.003] and OR 5.6 (95% CI 1.2-20, P = 0.031), respectively.
In the multivariate analysis including clinical variables, the best model for ST elevation acute coronary syndrome included TAFI +1542GG (p<0.001, OR: 0.17, 95% CI 0.07-0.30), age (in years, p<0.005, OR: 0.97, 95% CI 0.94-0.98) and dyslipidemia (p<0.005, OR: 2.33, 95% CI 1.42-3.80).
