Models are adjusted for age, sex, current and former smoking, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, anterior myocardial infarction, ejection fraction, Killip class, reperfusion or revascularization during hospitalization, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, body mass index, Charlson index, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. CI = confidence interval; cTnT = cardial troponin T; HR = hazard ratio.
