Peri-infarct apoptotic rate according to myocardial expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2). A significantly higher apoptotic rate was found in subjects with versus without COX-2 expression at the site of recent infarction, especially with intense COX-2 expression (++). Kruskal–Wallis test, p  =  0.047; Mann–Whitney U test, p  =  0.016 (comparing patients with versus without COX-2 expression); p value for trend  =  0.009 (univariate ANOVA analysis considering the three groups separately). The box represents the median value and the vertical bars are the interquartile range.
