AMI: acute myocardial infarction; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; BMI: body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. Values are means  ±  SD, medians (interquartile range), or numbers with percentage in parenthesis.
