aVariables in the multivariable linear regression model were included using the simultaneous forced entry method based on significant results of univariable analysis and relevant factors for the residual SYNTAX score (age, sex, body mass index, smoking history, History of MI, History of PCI, Killip class IV MI, hypertension, dyslipidemia, heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, diastolic LV diameter, systolic LV diameter, LVEF, and ELC).
