Exclusion Criteria15

• Type 2 myocardial infarction (Patients with symptoms or signs of myocardial ischemia and evidence of increased oxygen demand or decreased supply \[for example, tachyarrhythmia, hypotension, or anaemia\] secondary to an alternative pathology and myocardial necrosis are defined as suffering type 2 myocardial infarction.

• Clinically significant non-transient (At least 2 laboratory tests) blood abnormalities(Hemoglobin <100g/L or hematocrit < 30% or > 52% or white blood cell count < 3×109/L or platelet count < 100×109/L);
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<30mL/min/1.73m2 (based on CKD-EPI formula);
• Serum alanine aminotransferase and/or aspartate aminotransferase levels greater than 2 times the upper limit of the normal range accompanied by serum total bilirubin levels greater than 2 times the upper limit of the normal range or severe liver disease with coagulation disorders(INR>1.5)(except for elevated glutamic oxalacetic transaminase associated with myocardial infarction);
• Decline in cognitive function due to inability to perform basic activities of daily living independently;
• Drug or alcohol abuse;
