  1. Data are expressed as means ± SD. AMI, acute myocardial infarction; SA, stable angina; n, number of patients; ACEIs, Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; ARBs, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers; BMI, body-mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure, DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TChol, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment; WBC, white blood cells; hsCRP, high-sensitivity CRP; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
  2. *HbA1c was measured only in the diabetic subgroup.
