Gender but not diabetes, hypertension or smoking affects infarct evolution in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients – data from the CHILL-MI, MITOCARE and SOCCER trials

Table 4 Multivariable analysis, Infarct size

Variable	Regression coefficient	SE	Partial correlation	p-value
Model r² = 0.29
Female gender	−3.2	1.4	−0.1	0.018
Current smoker	0.2	1.5	0.0	0.896
Smoker or ex-smoker	−1.9	1.4	−0.1	0.192
Anterior injury	8.4	1.1	0.4	< 0.001
TIMI 0	5.3	1.2	0.2	< 0.001
LVM	0.0	0.0	0.1	0.217

LVM normalized to body surface area was also tested, showing no differences in significance levels, but as covariance with LVM is high it is presented in a separate analysis found in the Appendix
LVM left ventricular mass
