As shown in Table 2, patients with APE exhibited significantly higher levels of NT-proBNP: 2890 [1340–5220] vs. 340 [110–890] pg/mL, p < 0.001; Troponin I: 0.146 [0.07–0.31] vs. 0.031 [0.01–0.08] ng/mL, p < 0.001; IL-6: 68.2 [38.1–110.4] vs. 34.7 [17.8–65.9] pg/mL, p = 0.005; D-dimer: 2280 [1340–4860] vs. 890 [530–1910] ng/mL, p = 0.003. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and apparent mineralocorticoid excess.
