LA = linoleic acid. MACE = Major Adverse Clinical Events (nonfatal MI, unscheduled coronary revascularization, stroke, all-cause death or hospitalization for new or worsened heart failure). AMI = Acute Myocardial Infarction. Revasc. = Revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting). HF = Heart Failure. p-values for trends across the quartiles.
