Elevated Serum Tryptase and Endothelin in Patients with ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Preliminary Report

Table 7

The differences in tryptase, PDGF, soluble c-kit, ET-1, and angiogenin levels between STEMI patients with or without family history of CAD. The analysis was made using -test.

	Family history of CAD	No family history of CAD	value
Tryptase [ng/mL]	2,3 ± 1,5	2,5 ± 1,2	0,7
PDGF [pg/mL]	3178,5 ± 1752,2	2991,1 ± 1622,3	0,8
Soluble c-kit [ng/mL]	16,1 ± 25,1	4,6 ± 4,3	0,04
Endothelin [pg/mL]	0,7 ± 0,2	0,8 ± 0,3	0,9
Angiogenin [ng/mL]	405,5 ± 122,7	422,2 ± 117,6	0,7
