  1. Bold empasis means that the P value has reached statistical significance, with 2-tailed P value < 0.05
  2. Values are n (%), mean ± SD, or median (interquartile range)
  3. BMI body mass index, CABG coronary artery bypass graft, CAD coronary artery disease, CMR cardiovascular magnetic resonance, CVD cardiovascular disease, ECG electrocardiogram, HF heart failure, LGE late gadolinium enhancement, LV left ventricle, MI myocardial infarction, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention, RPP rate-pressure product (pressure mmHg × Heart rate bpm)/1000, SD standard deviation
  4. aDefined by BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2
  5. bDefined by glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2
  6. cDefined by Framingham Risk Score > 20% of risk of CAD at 10 years
  7. dBased on a modified SCORE project (https://www.escardio.org/Education/Practice-Tools/CVD-prevention-toolbox/SCORE-Risk-Charts) that did not take into account the total cholesterol level [22, 23]
  8. eDefined by the presence of LGE with < 50% transmurality
