LAD, Left anterior descending; LCX, Left circumflex artery; RCA, right coronary artery; ETPR, exercise test positive rate; CSFBV, coronary slow flow blood vessel; CTFC, corrected TIMI frame count; ACEI, Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, Angiotensin-II receptor typy-1 blocker. Unpaired Student’s t test or Mann-Whitney-Test was used to compare differences in means or mean ranks of variables between control group and Dil group.
