Baseline data (which showed no differences between the test and the control groups).
| Data category | AMI group (n = 113) | Controls (n = 94) | t/x2/z | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gender | ||||
| Male (%) | 80 (70.80) | 46 (48.94) | ||
| Female (%) | 33 (29.20) | 48 (51.06) | ||

| TG (mmol/l) | 1.57 (1.12–2.50) | 1.29 (1.03–1.97) | −1.81 | 0.07 |
| TC (mmol/l) | 4.47 ± 1.26 | 4.57 (3.81–5.36) | −0.40 | 0.69 |
