Table 2.
Comparison of average PMA, PNA, IL‐6, and TNF‐α parameters between healthy patients and patient participants.
| Variables | Healthy control (n = 24) | ACS patients (n = 30) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| PMA | 9.35 (2.80) | 75.78 (8.74) | < 0.001 |
| PNA | 7.82 (3.94) | 77.88 (20.78) | < 0.001 |
| IL‐6 | 5.04 (1.35) | 23.52 (17.13) | < 0.001 |
| TNF‐α | 8.60 (2.07) | 10.69 (4.77) | 0.051 |
Note: Categorical and continuous variables are expressed as the mean (SD) and number (%), respectively. The p value was assessed using χ 2 tests for categorical variables and the t‐test for continuous variables.
Abbreviations: ACS; acute coronary syndromes, PMA; platelet–monocyte aggregates, PNA; platelet–neutrophil aggregates, IL‐6; interleukin‐6, TNF‐α; tumor necrosis factor α.
