Clinical characteristics of myocardial sample donors
Patient population (n = 86) was composed of 44 sample donors for experiments with EPI, DNR, or IDA (this study), and 42 sample donors for experiments with DOX (Salvatorelli et al., 2017). Data were analyzed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test or Fisher exact test.
