Adjusted for age, male, BMI, SBP, DBP, smoking, and diabetes. BMI: body mass index; CKMB: creatine kinase, MB isoenzyme; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; hsCRP: high sensitivity C-reactive protein; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; MCH: mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; NT-proBNP: N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; SBP: systolic blood pressure.
