MmHg represents the height to which the pressure in the blood vessels can push a column of mercury in a manometer or sphygmomanometer, which are devices used to measure blood pressure. When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a hea...
Importantly, DM was mostly defined by medical chart review, self-reported DM, elevated non-fasting or fasting glucose levels or seldom with an oral glucose tolerance test. In none of these studies glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects the average blood ...
Exclusion criterial comprised the following: (1) participants under 18 years old; (2) participants with missing blood cell counts, albumin. (3) participants lacking complete survival data. Ultimately, a total of 6,962 participants were included in this analysis (Fig. 1). Fig. 1 Flow chart ...
Blood pressure was measured with a standard sphygmomanometer after the subject had been seated quietly for at least 5 min. Subjects were considered to have hypertension if their blood pressure was ≥ 140/90 mmHg or if they were taking any anti-hypertensive agents....

The exclusion criteria and flow chart of the study design can be found in Supplementary Fig. 1. All patients received anticoagulant therapy with unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparins, subsequently vitamin K antagonists (VKA) were implemented. The duration of the treatment was 3 months or...
No significant differences were detected between the two groups regarding blood pressure, hypertension, current smoking status, LDL-C, angiographic finding, PCI procedure, and other discharge medication use (ARB, statin, aspirin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and β-blocker).
