Scatterplot illustrating the correlation between LV fibrosis and serum levels of cTnT (S-cTnT) in rats with ACRF analyzed 10-12 weeks after the beginning of the study (see Methods). Rats received chow with a normal (0.6%) NaCl content from the beginning of the study until 2 weeks prior to the acute experiments, when the animals were randomized to either remain on the same diet (NNa) or be switched to high- NaCl (4%) chow (HNa). There was a significant correlation between LV fibrosis and cTnT levels (r = 0.81, p < 0.01).
