Baseline characteristics of coronary heart disease cases and matched controls in the Reykjavik Study, and correlations with t-PA antigen, D-dimer and VWF.

Abbreviations: ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; IQR, inter-quartile range.*Means (SDs) of loge transformed values in cases and controls were 0.2 (0.5) and 0.0 (0.4) for triglycerides; 4.4 (1.6) and 4.0 (1.7) for lipoprotein (a); 0.8 (0.8) and 0.7 (0.8) for interleukin 6; 0.5 (1.1) and 0.2 (1.1) for C-reactive protein; 2.0 (1.0) and 1.9 (1.0) for erythrocyte sedimentation rate; 2.6 (0.5) and 2.5 (0.5) for t-PA antigen; 4.8 (1.0) and 4.8 (1.0) for D-dimer; and 4.7 (0.4) and 4.6 (0.4) for VWF.†Percentage differences and 95% CIs were calculated per 1 SD higher level or compared to the reference category of variables shown in the left column (adjusted for age, sex and period of recruitment).
