It is mandatory to obtain an informed written consent for patient registration in all participant institutions; all enrolled patients agreed to this registry. All patients who were enrolled in the registry had agreed to provide their information about clinical characteristics and test results like ECG, treadmill, echocardiography, and coronary status. Therefore, the additional consent for this analysis was not required.
