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

Table 8

The differences in tryptase, PDGF, soluble c-kit, ET-1, and angiogenin levels between STEMI patients with or without significant LAD stenosis. The analysis was made using -test.

	Significant stenosis of LAD	No significant stenosis of LAD	value
Tryptase [ng/mL]	2,5 ± 1,1	2,5 ± 1,4	0,9
PDGF [pg/mL]	3184 ± 1686,8	3070,5 ± 1599,1	0,8
Soluble c-kit [ng/mL]	11,6 ± 19,6	5,7 ± 5	0,3
Endothelin [pg/mL]	0,6 ± 0,2	0,9 ± 0,4	0,04
Angiogenin [ng/mL]	399,8 ± 139,6	437,2 ± 83,8	0,4

LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery.
