	≤ −18% (n=25)	>−18% (n=16)	P-value
PCT [ng/mL]	0.3 (0.1, 25.28)	1.2 (0.12,143.9)	<0.05
CRP [mg/dL]	4.9 (0.1, 29.1)	10.9 (1.1,22.6)	NS
Albumin [g/dL]	3.55 (2.3, 4.1)	3.3 (2.0, 4.0)	NS
ESR [mm/h]	70.4 (29,7)	64.3 (30.9)	NS
LAD Z-score	−0.2 (−2.78, 7.78)	0.1 (−1.96, 2.91)	NS
LMCA Z-score	−0.1 (−2.36, 4.53)	−0.1 (−1.66, 1.9)	NS
RCA Z-score	−0 (−1.94, 2.43)	0.2 (−1.63,2.16)	NS

NS=Non-Significant. Values are presented as median (range) except ESR, which is presented as mean (standard deviation). PCT: Procalcitonin; CRP: C-Reactive Protein; LAD: Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery; LMCA: Left Main Coronary Artery; RCA: Right Coronary Artery.
