By univariate linear regression, higher adrenaline and noradrenaline, female gender, diabetes, shock prior to pPCI and lower eGFR were associated with higher syndecan-1 levels but in the multivariate model only noradrenaline, diabetes and shock prior to pPCI were independently associated with syndecan-1 (Table 2). The gene discussed is SDC1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
