GFR (ml/min)	92 (76–110)	90 (70–108)	95 (80–113)
ECG pattern
ST deviation	95, 62%	70, 67%	25, 51%
LBBB	10, 6.5%	10, 9.5%	0, 0%
LVH	14, 9.1%	11, 10%	3, 6%
Risk factors
Hypertension	114, 74%	84, 80%	30, 61%
Diabetes	42, 27%	33, 31%	9, 18%
Smoking	82, 53%	60, 57%	22, 45%
History of CAD	67, 44%	43, 41%	24, 49%

Data are presented as median (25th–75th percentile) or , %. AMI: acute myocardial infarction; LBBB: left bundle branch block; LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy; CAD: coronary artery disease. History of CAD included the history of myocardial infarction, cardiac revascularization, or former diagnosis of coronary artery disease.
