NLRP3 and hyperlipidemia: As shown in Table 4, Cox regression analysis after the adjustment of age, gender, hypertension, DM, smoking, and hyperlipidemia showed that the NLRP3 rs10754558 polymorphism was associated with the incidence of MACE in CAD patients and G allele was an independent predictor of such an event (GG versus CC: adjusted HR = 1.790, 95% CI = 1.107–2.893; CC versus CG + GG: adjusted HR = 1.585, 95% CI = 1.065–2.359; G allele versus C allele: adjusted HR = 1.502, 95% CI = 1.182–1.909).
