Models estimate the relationship between the change in log-transformed inflammation biomarker and change in cardiovascular marker using ordinary least squares regression, adjusted for baseline values. Bold values represent statistically significant findings.

Abbreviation: QTC, corrected QT interval; RMSSD, root mean square of the successive differences.

Reactive hyperemia index is natural log transformed
