Values are shown as the median (the 5th; 95th percentiles). *P value based on the Kruskal-Wallis test. aLaboratory parameters were analyzed 24 h after the onset of chest pain. PTX3: pentraxin-3; BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide; : nitrite/nitrate; TNF-: tumor necrosis factor alpha; MDA: malondialdehyde; 8-OHdG: 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine; SOD: superoxide dismutase; FRAP: ferric-reducing ability of plasma.
