Effects of risk factor control and exercise capacity at follow-up period on CEC among patients in CR group. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. The number in parenthesis indicates actual number of analyzed cases. Seven samples at baseline were collected in fasting-state at the beginning of CR. The others were collected immediate before the emergency coronary angiography on admission. Target controlled blood pressure are defined as < 140 systolic and < 90 diastolic. Target controlled HbA1c levels are defined as < 7.0%. Target controlled lipid levels of LDL-C, non-HDL-C, HDL-C, and triglyceride are defined as < 100, < 130, ≥ 40, and < 150 mg/dl, respectively. *p < 0.05 for significant group difference by two way repeated AVOVA. ^§p < 0.05, ^§§p < 0.01, ^§§§p < 0.0001 compared with the baseline levels by paired t-test.
