  • Values are n (%) unless otherwise stated.

  • 3-150 Significant coronary artery disease is defined as reduction in artery luminal diameter of 75% or more in an epicardial coronary artery or a major branch supplying at least 25% of either the left anterior descending and diagonal territory, the circumflex territory, or the inferior territory (or 50% if left main stem).

  • LAD, left anterior descending coronary artery; LIMA, left internal mammary artery; LV, left ventricular; RIMA, right internal mammary artery.
