Figure 3(b) illustrates that patients with cardiac inflammation showed a trend towards increased numbers of MSC (CD45 − CD34 − CD90 + CD105 + , 0.80 ± 0.67 versus 1.89 ± 1.03/100 mm 2 , P = 0.058) in their EMB compared to patients without inflammation and showed a strong correlation between MSC and cardiac inflammation ( r = 0.64, P = 0.0001, not shown).
