Hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, the usage of clopidogrel or ACEi/ARB; serum levels of hemoglobin, creatinine, hs-CRP, and galectin-1; MVD, SYNTAX scores, LVEF, and revascularization with PCI or CABG were all significantly associated with the incidence of MACE in univariable Cox regression analysis (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene LGALS1 and peripheral arterial disease.
