Fig. 4.

Myoglobin and high sensitivity troponin T (TnT-hs) blood levels in mice infected with heart-passaged CVB3 vs. saline controls. The panel on the left depicts myoglobin blood levels of controls (bar with diagonal stripes, n = 10 mice) and of mice with myocarditis during acute myocarditis at day 10 post infection (bar in solid black, n = 16 mice). Myoglobin was significantly elevated in myocarditis (p = 0.02). The panel on the right depicts blood levels of TnT-hs of controls (bar with diagonal stripes) and of mice with myocarditis (bar in solid black). There was no significant difference in TnT-hs blood levels between mice with myocarditis vs. controls. Data show the mean ± SEM. Significance determined using Student’s t test
