a

Data were derived using Cox regression analysis.

b

Model 1 was adjusted for baseline demographics (age, sex, race, smoking history, body mass index [calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared]) and cardiovascular risk factors (history of heart failure, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes).

c

Model 2 was adjusted for all variables in model 1 plus the presence of myocardial ischemia and the baseline CD34+ count.

d

Model 3 was adjusted for all variables in model 1 plus the presence of myocardial ischemia and the baseline CD34+/CXCR4+ count.

e

Per 50% decrease.
