Baseline Characteristics and Laboratory Findings in Patients with Angiographic Coronary Lesions (n = 183).

For continuous variables, mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range within each group is calculated. Student's T-test or Mann-Withney U-test was used to compare the two groups. For categorical variables, number and percentage is presentend and a Chi square test was used to compare the four groups. Fisher's exact test was used when appropriate. All biochemical parameteres are prestented as median (interquartile range). FA, folic acid (0.8 mg); B12, vitamin B12 (0.4 mg); B6, vitamin B6 (40 mg); PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft surgery; NSTACS, composite syndrom consisting of acute coronary syndrome including both ST-elevated and non-ST-elevated myocardial infarction; AMI, acute myocardial infarction; CHD, coronary heart disease; LMS, left main stem; LAD, left anterior descending artery; CX, circumflex branch; RCA, right coronary artery; ACE, Angiotensin I converting enzyme; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ADMA, asymmetric dimethylarginine. Percentages may not add up due to rounding of numbers.
aEjection fraction was measured during ventriculography for the majority of the patients. When this was not performed, ultrasonic echocardiography was used.
bA prior diagnosis of any peripheral or cerebrovascular disease.
cMedication at discharge.
dIncluding ARB - angiotensin receptor blockers.
