  1. Values are medians (1st–3rd quartiles) of 8 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); HUT1-15
  2. SV stroke volume, CO cardiac output, TPR total peripheral resistance in arbitrary units (a.u.); EF left ventricular ejection fraction, LVESV left ventricular end-systolic volume, LVEDV left ventricular end-diastolic volume
  3. * vs. “Healthy”; ** vs. “Before”; vs. “Baseline” within the same group of subjects; $vs. HUT1 at the level of P < 0.05
