PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention, : number, SD: standard deviation, BMI: body mass index, CAD: coronary artery disease, SBP: systolic blood pressure, EF: left ventricular ejection fraction, HT: hypertension, DM: diabetes mellitus, MI: myocardial infarction, and CV: cardiovascular. Student -test and *Mann Whitney -tests were used for comparison of the groups.
