BMI, body mass index; CAD, coronary artery disease; NT-pro-BNP, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARBs, angiotensin receptor blockers. The BMI is the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD, the median with interquartile range, or n (%). values were calculated by t-test for continuous variables and by the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables.
