Data presented as number or median (range). CCS—chronic coronary syndrome; BMI—body mass index; MI—myocardial infarction; CASSS—Coronary Artery Surgery Study Score; MHR—monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio; prevalence differences between groups were determined using Pearson’s chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test; Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA followed by Dunn’s post hoc test for multiple comparisons was used to determine the dependence between groups.
