Sera sST2 increased in male mice with myocarditis and correlates with worse heart function and size. A, Soluble ST2 (sST2) levels in the sera of male and female mice with myocarditis determined by ELISA (n=10/group). Data are shown as mean±SEM (n) and P value determined using 2‐way Student t test. B, Correlation between sST2 levels and cardiac functional parameters in male mice with myocarditis (n=18–27). Experiments were repeated 2 to 4 times. P values calculated using a 2‐tailed Pearson correlation. EF indicates ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening; IVSD, interventricular septal dimension; LV, left ventricular; LVEDD, LV end diastolic dimension; LVESD, LV end systolic dimension.
