<div>Statistically tested cut-off values of markers of inflammation (IL-6) and adiposity (body mass index and leptin) for the presence of insulin-dependent diabetes as a cardiovascular risk factor, the intraoperatively finding of a severe coronary calcification as an operative risk profile, and the happening of a postoperatively deep sternal wound infection.</div>
