SD, standard deviation; LAD, large artery disease; SVD, small-vessel disease; CE, cardioembolism; MetS, metabolic syndrome; HTN, hypertension; DM, diabetes mellitus. a P-values were calculated by two-sided t-test for continuous variables and chi-square test for categorical variables. P-values < 0.05 are shown in bold.
