The present study demonstrates that in patients with
AMI and CS treated with immediate revascularization
and IABP, the destination of IL-6 at admission reliably

noticeable that a cut-off level of 307 pg/ml is associated
with a very high specificity but moderate sensitivity. In
contrast, Nt-proBNP seemed to be of lower relevance
