  • Categorical variables are presented as number (%), and continuous variables are presented as quartile. Laboratory data were measured on admission. Smoker was defined as a patient with a smoking history, and drinker was defined as an active drinker. Number (%) of localisation of MI was calculated out of 7319 patients who underwent coronary angiography.

  • BMI, body mass index; CK, creatine kinase; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycated haemoglobin; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LAD, left anterior descending artery; LCX, left circumflex artery; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LMT, left main trunk; MI, myocardial infarction; RCA, right coronary artery; STEMI, ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
