Figure 1. Kinetics of metabolic changes in peripheral human plasma after planned myocardial injury.
Representative metabolites demonstrating transient (≤120 minutes after injury; see Table 2), sustained (≥240 minutes after injury), and late (1,440 minutes after injury, i.e., 1 day) changes in plasma levels compared with baseline are shown. Data represent the entire cohort of 36 patients: boxes denote interquartile range, lines denote median, “+” denotes mean, whiskers denote fifth and ninety-fifth percentiles, and outliers are shown by points.
