Baseline Characteristics.

1. Data are expressed as number (%), or mean±SD for normally distributed data, or median (IQR) for unevenly distributed data. 2.* P was tested by Kruskal-Wallis test. 3. # P was tested by Bonferroni correction. 4.

DBP: diastolic blood pressure. BUN: blood urea nitrogen. LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; ACEI/ARB: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker. CABG: coronary artery bypass grafting. CCB: Calcium channel blocker. MI: myocardial infarction. HbA1C: glycosylated hemoglobin A1c. LDL-C: low density lipoprotein-cholesterol. TG: Triglycerides.
