Data are expressed as Spearman's Rho between the levels at baseline or follow-up and those counterparts, and between the values of net change and those counterparts. The upper, middle, and lower figures show whole patients, patients who did not take lipid-lowering drugs at baseline, and patients that completed the CR program, respectively. The number in parenthesis indicates actual number of analyzed cases. Seven samples at baseline were collected in a fasting-state at the beginning of the CR. The others were collected immediately before the emergency coronary angiography on admission. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. N/A= not available. Abbreviations as in text.
