Table 6 Correlation pattern of EAT biopsies from CVDs patients with highets sST2 (>57.42 pg/ml).

From: Dysfunctional EAT thickness may promote maladaptive heart remodeling in CVD patients through the ST2-IL33 system, directly related to EPAC protein expression

  1. Correlation patterns of CVD patients expressing higher sST2 total circulating levels than the median of the total CVD population (57.42 pg/mL). CVD population releasing high levels of sST2 protein into the circulation presented a correlation pattern associated with maladaptive remodeling. Spearman correlation analysis was used for relations among different variables.
