Respective predictive accuracies of ghrelin, leptin and resistin for the improvement of LVEF among patients 12 months after myocardial infarction, with and without metabolic syndrome

ROC curve analyses for the improvement of LVEF	Group I Patients without metabolic syndrome (33 patients) AUC (95% CI), p-value	Group II Patients with metabolic syndrome (36 patients) AUC (95% CI), p-value
Ghrelin	0.69 (0.526–0.834), 0.078	0.53 (0.353–0.704), 0.856
Leptin	0.81 (0.648–0.920), < 0.0001	0.58 (0.396–0.754), 0.795
Resistin	0.67 (0.495–0.811), 0.049	0.53 (0.353–0.704), 0.765
