  2. aTriglyceride levels was grouped by the tertiles; bRisk factors adjustment included age, sex, medical history (pre-hypertension, pre-diabetes mellitus, pre-myocardial infarction, pre-PCI and pre-CABG), admission examination (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, BMI and GRACE score), admission lab test (blood glucose, serum creatinine, LDL-C and HDL-C), and severity of CAD (left main artery, three vessel diseases and number of stents)
