Figure 2 Multivariable analysis: adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence limits for infarct related artery TIMI 3 flow 90 min postthrombolytic therapy according to treatment regimen, infarct related artery and body weight. The 95% confidence limits for any given weight difference displayed are small and contained within the diamond representation. A ratio >1.0 denotes greater likelihood TIMI 3 flow relative to TIMI 0,1 or 2 flow. SK = streptokinase. IRA = infarct-related artery. RCA/Lcx = right coronary artery and left circumflex coronary artery. LAD = Left anterior descending coronary artery.
