ACE and coronary artery disorder: Similar results were observed in a second multivariate model after the inclusion of all baseline confounders (age, gender, BMI, smoking status, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, metabolic syndrome, family history of CAD, previous MI, previous CABG, previous CVA, chronic use of ACE inhibitors, statins, beta-blockers, diuretics, nitrates, acetylsalicylic acid, or clopidogrel, platelet count, hemoglobin, WBC count, glycaemia, uric acid, fibrinogen, Hb1Ac, creatinine, and LDL cholesterol) (adjusted OR [95% CI] = 1.08 (0.99–1.19), p = 0.76).
