Time course of serum IP-10 level in AMI patients. (a) The alteration of serum IP-10 level was determined in 22 AMI patients. The boxes represent the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers indicate the 10th and 90th percentiles. (b) The serum IP-10 level and extent of atherosclerosis. The serum IP-10 level on admission day was compared with the extent of coronary atherosclerosis as determined by coronary angiography. Patients with atherosclerosis in three vessels showed a higher level of serum IP-10 level before PCI. ⁎p < 0.05 vs. single diseased vessel. (c) The alteration of serum IP-10 levels between admission day (day 0) and day 3. The closed circles indicate the highest tertile for serum IP-10 level before PCI, closed boxes indicate the middle tertile, and closed triangles indicate the lowest tertile, respectively. Note that only the highest tertile for serum IP-10 level before PCI showed a decrease of serum IP-10 level at 3 days, while others increased at 3 days. ⁎p < 0.0001 vs. lowest tertile.
