Elevated levels of bioactive lipids at early times after AMI. Bar graphs showing the plasma levels of sphingosine-1 phosphate (A) and ceramide-1 phosphate (B) in patients with STEMI and controls; showing peak levels early in STEMI patients. (*P<0.05 as compared with controls). AMI, acute myocardial infarction; BSL, baseline denoting the time of arrival to the hospital; C1P, ceramide-1 phosphate; S1P, sphingosine-1 phosphate; STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
