multiple regression with fibrinogen , cholesterol , high density lipoprotein cholesterol , triglycerides , blood pressure , smoking habits , coronary artery score , and left ventricular ejection fraction as independent variables showed a significant partial correlation between fibrinogen and the photometric erythrocyte aggregation index ( r2 = 0.20 ) and plasma viscosity ( r2 = 0.09 ) , between triglycerides and plasma viscosity ( r2 = 0.05 ) , and between aortic pressure and erythrocyte filterability ( r2 = 0.03 ) .
