Hypertension was defined as either a systolic blood pressure >140/90 mmHg. Obesity was defined as a body mass index ≥30 kg/m2. Congestive heart failure was defined by laboratory findings of elevated natriuretic peptides in patients with concomitant signs and symptoms consistent with this syndrome. Dyslipidaemia was defined as LDL-cholesterol above recommended levels as a function of patients total cardiovascular risk. Diabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l (126 mg/dl) or 2 h plasma glucose ≥11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl).
BMI: body mass index; ERAH: endoscopic radial artery harvesting; LDL: low density lipoprotein ORAH: open radial artery harvesting; SD: standard deviation.
