Values are given as n. Adjustments were made for age (>65 y), gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, hemoglobin, and LDL. Only data with were shown. MACEs were a composite of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, target vessel revascularization, and rehospitalization driven by heart failure.
