ANGPT2 and hyperlipidemia: However, as shown in Table 2, after adjusting for the baseline covariates of age, gender, BMI, hyperlipidemia, LVEF, serum creatinine, classification of CHD, and lesion vessel numbers, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the high Ang-2 level of post-PCI was an independent predictor of cardiovascular events (adjusted HR = 2.33, 95%CI = 1.04–5.18, P = .039), while the high Ang-2 level of pre-PCI was not found to be an independent predictor (adjusted HR = 2.02, 95%CI = 0.92–4.46, P = .078).
