Multivariate-1 model was adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking, and obesity.
Multivariate-2 model was adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, high-risk plaques, and significant stenosis.
Triglyceride and hsCRP were logarithm-transformed.
CI = confidence interval, eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate, HDL = high-density lipoprotein, HDL = high-density lipoprotein, hsCRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, LAD = left anterior descending artery, LDL = low-density lipoprotein, NAFLD = non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, PCAT = pericoronary adipose tissue.
