Inflammation and platelet biomarkers in the group of STEMI + NSTEMI subjects as compared to UA subjects. Results are presented as medians and interquartile ranges.

	STEMI + NSTEMI N = 63	UA N = 30	P
WBC [x103/μL]	8.40 (7.30–10.20)	7.65 (5.80–9.50)	NS
CRP [mg/L]	2.8 (0.9–4.6)	1.3 (0.9–2.9)	0.0357
IL-6 [pg/mL]	12.2 (4.1–18.8)	5.4 (2.2–11.0)	0.0000
PLT [x103/μL]	212 (183–257)	210 (175–223)	NS
MPV [fL]	10.9 (10.1–11.3)	11.1 (10.4–11.3)	NS
LPLT [%]	31.3 (2.57–35.1)	32.4 (27.9–34.0)	NS
β-TG [IU/mL]	69 (53–123)	70 (53–95)	NS

WBC – white blood cells count, CRP – C-reactive protein, IL-6 – interleukin-6, PLT – platelet count, MPV – mean platelet volume, L-PLT – large platelet, β-TG – β-thromboglobulin, STEMI – ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, NSTEMI – non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, UA – unstable angina.

Conversion factors to SI units are as follows: for WBC – 1.0, for PLT – 1.0.
