Fig. 1.

STEMI patients present with elevated troponin T and inflammatory markers.

Plasma from healthy volunteers (n = 10) and patients with stable CAD (n = 10) and STEMI (n = 15) were collected after MI onset. Repeated samples were drawn from STEMI patients. The figure show plasma levels of hsTnT, hsCRP, and neutrophils. All results are expressed as mean ± SEM. *p < 0·05, **p < 0·01, ***p < 0·001 vs. STEMI baseline. ^#p < 0·05, ^##p < 0·01, ^###p < 0·001 for repeated measures ANOVA for STEMI-baseline, day 1, and 8.
