Quantitative variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and categorical variables as a median (min–max value). BMI: body mass index; BP: blood pressure; CAD: coronary artery disease; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; HDL: high-density cholesterol; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; NCA: normal coronary artery.
