Impaired Fibrinolysis in Angiographically Documented Coronary Artery Disease

Table 4

Plasma fibrinolysis markers considering number of affected vessels.

	1v	2v	3v
	16	13	28	—
PAI-1	92.79 ± 60.45	71.83 ± 39.29	62.15 ± 31.97	ns
TAFI	5.31 ± 1.52	4.75 ± 1.16	4.87 ± 1.46	ns

= sample size; 1v = stenosis in one vessel; 2v = stenosis in two vessels; 3v = stenosis in three or more vessels; PAI-1 = type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor; TAFI = thrombin activatable fibrinolytic inhibitor; ns = not significant. Values for PAI-1 and TAFI are given in mean ± SD and expressed in ng/mL and μg/mL, respectively.
