Plasma levels of biomarkers on late samples in cases and matched controls. Values indicate medians (full squares in cases and full diamonds in controls), bars indicate interquartile ranges. hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in mg/L; t-PA = tissue plasminogen activator in ng/mL; D-dimer in μg/100 mL; PAI-1 = plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in μg/10 mL; IL-6 = interleukin-6 in pg/mL; P-selectin = platelet selectin in μg/100 mL. *p=0.002; #p=0.005 from fitting a conditional logistic regression (biomarkers in log scale) comparing cases and controls.
