  1. Pearson correlation was performed with ferritin and other metabolic variables in CAD patients. Continuous variables with skewed distributions (ferritin, TG, hs-CRP) were log transformed for analysis.
  2. Bold values indicate significant results with P < 0.05.
  3. eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, BMI body mass index, HbA1c glycosylated haemoglobin, TC total cholesterol, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG triglycerides, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure, hs-CRP high sensitive C-reactive protein.
