Biochemical characteristics of the CAD+ and CAD− groups.

Variables	CAD+	CAD−
	Total cholesterol	151 (121–188)		170.21 (144.47–209.61)	<0.05
LDL-C	90.12 (61.04–115.08)	113.85 (88.7–152.58)	<0.01
HDL-C	33 (29–40)	33.32 (28.76–38.45)	NS
Triglycerides	151 (116–206)	135.34 (92.55–187.15)	NS
TAT	28.55 (15.53–60.12)	19.15 (9.23–29.48)	<0.01
tHcy	11.2 (8.52–13.3)	7.56 (6.73–9.87)	<0.01

The variables are expressed as the median and the interquartile range 25th–75th (IQR). A -test was performed to compare the quantitative variables that exhibited a normal distribution; otherwise, a Mann-Whitney (nonparametric) test was performed.
