Figure 6 Predictive value of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) for the incidence of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) at six months of follow-up was also apparent in patients without troponin T (TnT) elevation (a) and was restricted to patients with low levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10 (b). Diagnostic thresholds were 12.6 mIU/l for PAPP-A, 10 mg/l for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and 3.5 ng/l for IL-10 (n = 547). *p < 0.01 versus PAPP-A low; **p < 0.01 versus PAPP-A low.
