Figure 5 Correlation between baseline and peak levels of CRP (Panel A) and SAA (Panel B) after myocardial cell necrosis. Unheralded MI (open circle) (Group 1), preinfarction UA (solid circle) (Group 2). In the overall population of 36 patients, there was a significant correlation between the baseline levels of CRP and SAA and the respective increases after MI (r = 0.55, 95% CI 0.27–0.75 and r = 0.65, 95% CI 0.40–0.82, respectively; all p < 0.001). CI = confidence interval. All other abbreviations as in Figure 2.
