  • Data presented as n (%).

  • *Crude hazard ratio for 6-month composite CV outcome was 5.02 (95% CI 2.47 to 10.20, p<0.001).

  • †Adjusted HR for 6-month composite CV outcome (adjusted by dyslipidaemia, angiographic findings and PCI performed) was 4.79 (95%CI 2.28 to 10.04, p<0.001).

  • ACS, acute coronary syndrome; CV, cardiovascular; GRACE, Global Registry for Acute Coronary Events; HF, heart failure; NA, not applicable.
