Diabetes = diabetes requiring medical therapy, Chronic renal insufficiency = Glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.72m2, CHF = NYHA class III or IV, MI = myocardial infarction, TIA = transient ischemic attack. Coronary anatomy: LAD = left anterior descending, LCx = left circumflex, Ramus = ramus intermedius, OM = obtuse marginal, LPL = left postero-lateral, LPDA = left posterior descending, RCA = right coronary artery, AVcon = A–V continuation, RPDA = right posterior descending, RPL = right posterolateral. Continuous variables are summarized as median [interquartile range] (count/n). Categorical variables are summarized as % (count/n).
