Cardiac contractility (dP/dtmax derived from LVP): >10% reduction = red; <10% = green. Ejection fraction (EF): >10% reduction = red; <10% = green. QTc interval: >10% prolongation = red; <10% prolongation = green. Troponin (cTnI): ≥2 samples with signal (>0.05 ng/ml) = red; 1/0 samples with signal = green. Natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP): ≥2 samples with signal (>0.05 ng/ml) = red; no signal = green. Cardiac injury: presence of vacuolation = red; no vacuolation = green.

S, Scheduled sacrifice; U, Unscheduled sacrifice.

ND, not determined due to lack of LVP instrumentation or ECG failure.
