  1. Values are medians (1st–3rd quartiles) of 9 patients before (Before) and after CABG (After) and 7 in the healthy subjects (Healthy). Baseline, at rest in supine position before head-up tilt (HUT); HUT3, -6, -9, -12, -15; 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th min of HUT
  2. HR heart rate, MAP mean arterial pressure, SBP and DBP systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively
  3. * vs. “Healthy”; ** vs. “Before”; vs. “Baseline” within the same group of subjects
