Values are mean ± SD, n (%), or median (interquartile range). BMI, body mass index; Hb, hemoglobin; NTproBNP, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide; eGFR, estimated glomerular 5ltration rate; HDL, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; TnI, cardiac troponin-I; EF, ejection fraction; CACS, coronary artery calcium score.
