Association between R0 (n = 27), Rmax (n = 27) and Rpost-CPB (n = 25) using one-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) (A) and association between ∆Rmax-R0 and DSB (clinical endpoint) using simple logistic regression (B). (Pulmonary artery catheter unavailable in one patient). Mean ± SD **P < 0.001. DSB difficult separation from bypass, mAP mean arterial pressure, mPAP mean pulmonary arterial pressure, R0 baseline mAP/mPAP ratio, Rmax peak mAP/mPAP ratio, Rpost-CPB post-CPB mAP/mPAP ratio, ∆Rmax-R0 magnitude of peak response.
