Inverse correlation between serum levels of TRAIL and CK (A), between TRAIL and CK-MB (B) and between TRAIL and BNP (C) in AMI patients. Coefficients of correlation (R) are indicated.

Levels of TRAIL were determined by ELISA in sera from AMI patients (analyzed at the indicated times post AMI) and from healthy control subjects. Horizontal bars are median, upper and lower edges of box are 75th and 25th percentiles, lines extending from box are 10th and 90th percentiles.

Serum levels of TRAIL were analyzed in AMI patient who died or experienced HF (with events) either during the acute phase (in-hospital) or in the follow-up (12 months after AMI) with respect to the other AMI patients (without events). Horizontal bars are median, upper and lower edges of box are 75th and 25th percentiles, lines extending from box are 10th and 90th percentiles.
