PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; CABG: coronary artery bypass grafting; TIA: transient ischemic attack; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. Age, LVEF, plasma creatinine, blood haemoglobin, and blood thrombocytes are reported as median (quartiles) [range]. Other variables are reported as count (percent).
