Values are OR (95% CI). Obstructive CAD was defined as the presence of ≥50% stenosis in at least one coronary vessel with a diameter of ≥1.5 mm on invasive coronary angiography, or a history of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting. Multivessel disease is defined as two- or three-vessel disease. Intermediate or high SYNTAX-1 is a score >22.

CAD = coronary artery disease; SYNTAX = the Synergy Between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery; other abbreviations as in Table 1.

a

Adjusted for age and sex.

b

Adjusted for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, former smoking, total cholesterol (continuous), LDL-C (continuous), HDL-C (continuous), eGFR (continuous), and lipid-lowering therapy.
