Table 1

Demographic and clinical data of the patients of the intention-to-treat population at the time of randomization (). Data are separately shown for the two groups of randomization and reported as mean (±SD) or absolute () and relative frequency (%). BMI: Body Mass Index; LDL: Low Density Lipoprotein; HDL: High Density Lipoprotein; CV: cardiovascular; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure.
