Cohort 1, 2D-scatter diagrams different HF biomarkers vs. lipase for the Controls (blue) and HF (red) patients along with the marginal distributions for: (a) BNP vs. lipase, (b) TNF-α, (c) CRP, (d) neutrophil count, and (e) Isoproterenol Response. Compared to the Control group, the average elevation of lipase in the HF group was accompanied by a significant elevation of (a) BNP (large blue and red dot represents mean of the Control and the HF group, respectively) (p < 0.0001, Hotelling T2-test), (b) TNF-α (p < 0.0001, Hotelling T2-test), (c) CRP (p < 0.0001, Hotelling T2-test), (d) neutrophil count (p < 0.0001, Hotelling T2-test), and (e) depression of Isoproterenol Response (p < 0.0001, Hotelling T2-test). All Control marginal distributions were different from the corresponding HF distributions (p < 0.0001, KS-test).
