CAD: coronary artery disease; LEVF: left ventricular ejection fraction; GFR: glomerular filtration rate; TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; cTnI: cardiac troponin I; CK-MB: creatine kinase myocardial band. The data presented are or (percentage) or median (95% confidence interval (CI)). The comparison of data between the two groups was done by the Student test or Fisher’s exact test.
