sACE2 activity in controls and patients.

<p>Panel A: Box-plot showing the differences in the median (horizontal lines), interquartile range (boxes) and 95% of the observed values (whiskers) for sACE2 activity between controls and STEMI patients. Panel B: Scatter-plot detailing individual changes in sACE2 activity among patients. *: p<0.001 for comparison between baseline measurements in patients and controls. †: p<0.01 for comparison between baseline and 7 days measurements by paired analysis. ACE2: Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2; RFU: relative fluorometric units.
