Data is expressed as Mean ± SD. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood pressure (DBP), Differences were studied by Mann Whitney test for Fibrinogen, VWF, ADAMTS13 and hsCRP while Independent Student’s t test for other parameters. Reference values for blood analytes: TC: <5.1 mmol/L, TG: >1.7 mmol/L, LDL: <2.5 mmol/L, HDL: 1.5 mmol/L, Fibrinogen: 150–400 mg/dl, hsCRP mg/dl: (Low <.1, Average .1–.3, High >.3).
