p<0.05 vs. no-CAD group; p<0.05 vs. SVD group. ACS: acute coronary syndrome; BMI: body mass index; CAD: coronary artery disease; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; MVD: multivessel coronary artery disease; SBP: systolic blood pressure; SVD: single-vessel disease.
