View larger version (28K): [in a new window]   Figure 1 Levels of sICAM-1 in ng/ml in UA, NQMI and control groups at four sampling time points. p values refer to differences in levels of soluble ICAM-1 between the three groups. #p < 0.05 for levels of sICAM-1 at 6 months versus levels at 12 months in UA and NQMI groups. ICAM-1 = intercellular adhesion molecule-1; NQMI = non–Q wave myocardial infarction; UA = unstable angina.

NQMI = non–Q wave myocardial infarction; UA = unstable angina; VCAM-1 = vascular cell adhesion molecule.

E-selectin = endothelial selectin; NQMI = non–Q wave myocardial infarction; UA = unstable angina.

NQMI = non–Q wave myocardial infarction; P-selectin = platelet selectin; UA = unstable angina.
