Catestatin concentration in a dogs with (n = 10) and without (n = 56) congestive heart failure (CHF) at the time of examination and b in dogs in decompensated (n = 5) versus compensated (n = 5) CHF at the time of examination. The top, bottom, and line within each box correspond to the 75th percentile (top quartile), the 25th percentile (bottom quartile), and the 50th percentile (median), respectively. The whiskers extend from the bottom 2.5th percentile to the top 97.5th percentile. Catestatin concentration did not differ between dogs with and without CHF (a), P = 0.10. Due to the low number of dogs in each group in b statistical comparison could not be performed
