Figure 1 Derivation of study population. * Only first cardiac catheterization of each patient during the study period was included. ** Cardiac catheterizations of which primary indication was evaluation of valvular disease, heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and so on. ACS = acute coronary syndromes; CAD = coronary artery disease. American Journal of Cardiology 2018 121, 113-119DOI: (10.1016/j.amjcard.2017.09.028) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
