  1. Data are presented as n/N (%) or median (interquartile range). Two patients were lost to follow-up regarding MACE. For comparison of patients with MACE and no MACE p-values were calculated, bold numbers indicate a statistically significant difference. Mann–Whitney U test was used for testing continuous variables, categorical variables were tested using chi square test
  2. ACE: angiotensin converting enzyme; CABG: coronary artery bypass graft; MACE: major adverse cardiac event; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention, TIMI: thrombolysis in myocardial infarction
