Data was expressed as mean ± SD or numbers. The first P demonstrates the P value of data comparison between two DCM groups and the second P denotes the p-value of compared parameters between total DCM patients and control group (t-test was used for comparison of data between ischemic and idiopathic DCM groups and also between total DCM and control groups). DCM: dilated cardiomyopathy, BMI: body mass index, LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG: triglyceride, HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
