Laboratory parameters were analyzed 24 h after the onset of chest pain or upon hospital admission.
BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; LVEDP: left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; 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.
