Evaluation of endothelial cell-specific molecule-1 as a biomarker of glycocalyx damage in canine myxomatous mitral valve disease

Table 3 Predictors for serum ESM-1 concentration

Abbreviations: ESM-1 Endothelial cell-specific molecule-1, BCS Body condition score, VHS Vertebral heart score, VLAS Vertebral left atrial size, LA/AO ratio Left atrium dimension and diameter of the aorta ratio, LVIDdN Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter normalized for bodyweight, ACEi Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
^aSystolic blood pressure had significantly associated with ESM-1 concentration (p < 0.01)
^bVHS and ^bsildenafil had significantly associated with ESM-1 concentration (p < 0.05)
