*
P value denotes the comparison of STEMI and NSTEMI.
AV- atrioventricular block; LBBB - left bundle branch block; HDL - high density lipoprotein; LDL - low density lipoprotein; NSTEMI - non-ST elevation myocardial infarction;
RBBB - right bundle branch block; STEMI - ST elevation myocardial infarction
