Data are presented as number (percentage). CAD coronary artery disease, FH family history; premature coronary artery disease, <55 years in males and <65 years in females; previous events, previous acute coronary ischemic events, No of BVs number of blood vessels, SVD single vessel disease, MVD multivessel disease. Fisher’s exact test was used. Bold values indicate statistically significant at p < 0.05
