Table 3.

Planned outcomes of the IHD-EPITRAN study. Outcome 1 and outcomes 2–5 encase inter- and intra-cohort comparisons, respectively. Morbidity parameters: Section 2.3.2. A-to-I, adenosine-to-inosine; AVR, aortic valve replacement (III); AVS, aortic valve stenosis; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting (II); CCTA, coronary computed tomography angiogram (IV); m6A, N6-methyladenosine; IR, ischemia-reperfusion; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; STEMI, ST-elevation MI (I).

Primary Secondary

1.4. Pressure overload controlled for acute IR, stable ishcemia, and hemeostasis (III vs. I-II-IV)
4. Changes in the study sample m6A and A-to-I profiles (Recruitment vs. 3-months) associating to
