Accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in myocarditis: comparison of MR and histological findings in an animal model

Table 3 Correlation between LGE and serological parameters

	Turbo-FLASH	Turbo-FLASH with fs	TSE	TSE with fs
troponinT	r = 0.64; p < 0.05	r = 0.75; p < 0.05	r = 0.95; p < 0.05	r = 0.76; p < 0.05
haptoglobin	r = 0.11; p = 0.80	r = 0.00; p = 1.0	r = -0.23; p = 0.59	r = 0.16; p = 0.70

Spearman's correlations between extend of LGE and serological markers measured on day 21. As levels of proBNP were constant, correlations between LGE and proBNP-levels could not be calculated.
