  1. Serum levels of inflammatory were not elevated 3 months after CPB except C-reactive protein
  2. * Indicate data points which were significantly different when compared vs baseline in post hoc analysis. There was a significant increase in the percentage of expression of serum CRP at t0 vs t+3m (p < 0.042)
