ACEI, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ACM, all-cause mortality; ARB, angiotensin II receptor blocker; BMI, body mass index; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft surgery; CI, confidence interval; CKD, chronic kidney disease; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HR, hazard ratio; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; NSTE-ACS, non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome; NYHA, New York Heart Association; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.

Visit 2 P2Y12 status did not meet the proportional hazards assumption for MACE, and patient sex did not meet the proportional hazards assumption for ACM; these variables were considered in sensitivity analyses (see eTables 5, 8, 9 in the Supplement).
