*Endpoint values in total MNCs group vs total placebo group (p=0.009).

†Values are median (95% CI), and adjusted for values at baseline and the other intervention.

‡Endpoint values in total MNCs group vs total placebo group (p=0.008).

§The comparison of endpoint values in IA+ MNCs group vs IA+placebo group (p=0.001).

ATV, atorvastatin; EDVi, end-diastolic volume index; ESVi, end-systolic volume index; IA, intensive atorvastatin; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MNCs, mononuclear cells; RA, regular atorvastatin.
