Comparison of the proportion of CD8+ T cells in all CD3+ T cells (a), CD8+CD57+ T cells in all CD8+ T cells (b), CD8+CD25+ T cells in all CD8+ T cells (c) before LVAD implantation and in the FU period in normal-weight, pre-obese, and obese patients. *p ≤ 0.05 compared to the pre-operative value of the same group. #p ≤ 0.05 compared to normal-weight patients in the same period. Measurement dates comprise the time prior to LVAD implantation (pre-op), after 3 months (1st FU), after 6 months (2nd FU), and after 12 months (3rd FU). BMI, body mass index; CD, cluster of differentiation; FU, follow-up.
