BMI – body mass index; SBP – systolic blood pressure; DBP – diastolic blood pressure; LVEF – left ventricular ejection fraction; LDL-c – low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; CK-MB – creatine kinase-MB; cTnI – cardiac troponin I. Data are presented as the Mean ±SD, median (interquartile range) or %. P<0.05 means a statistically significant difference between groups.
