  1. Data are presented as frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables and means±SD. CAE = coronary artery ectasia; CAD = coronary artery disease; BMI = body mass index; CAD = family history of CAD; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; ACEI/ARB = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibito/angiotensin receptor blocker; CCB = calcium channel blocker.
