Moreover, 67 Ga uptake in the RV wall was significantly higher in ARVC/D patients than in controls (1.11 ± 0.08 vs 0.97 ± 0.11, p = 0.01), while 67 Ga uptake was not different between both groups in the IVS (1.04 ± 0.06 vs 1.04 ± 0.05, p = 0.90) and LV wall (0.89 ± 0.06 vs 0.99 ± 0.04, p = 0.06). Correlations between plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines and myocardial 67 Ga uptake Plasma levels of IL-1β and 67 Ga uptake in the RV appeared to correlate positively, but this correlation did not reach statistical significance ( r = 0.62, p = 0.1).

The sentences
The finding that the correlations between plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and myocardial uptake of 67 Ga in the RV wall failed to reach statistical significance probably relates to this limited number.
