Data are presented by OR and 95 % CI. Both means high LDL and genetic model effect on risk of stenosis, calculated by logistic regression analysis (see stat analysis). Synergy index () with 95% CI is biological measure of the interaction between two effects on one biological parameter, and if below 1 means it is antagonistic and if above 1 suggests synergistic or additive.
