Figure 1 Correlation Coefficients
Plots showing correlation by Spearman rank correlation between contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging infarct mass and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) concentrations during the entire sampling period (A), for any single-point (B to E), for peak cTnT (F), and cumulative cTnT over 96 h (cTnT area under the curve [AUC]) (G). Correlation coefficients are displayed with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. The z-statistics show no statistical difference across any single-point cTnT between Day (D) 1 and Day 4.

Figure 2 ROC Curve Analysis for cTnT D4, cTnT Peak, and AUC cTnT for Prediction of Infarct Mass Above Median
Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for cTnT D4, cTnT peak, and cTnT AUC for prediction of infarct mass above median demonstrates a comparable performance of best single-point versus serial measurements. Display of ROC analysis include optimized cutoff concentrations and AUC with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Other abbreviations as in Figure 1.
