TLDR
Peripheral vascular disease is a strong, independent predictor of long-term mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease and Aggressive attempts at secondary disease prevention are warranted in this high risk group.

Atherothrombosis and high-risk plaque: part I: evolving concepts.

TL;DR: Atherothrombosis is a complex disease in which cholesterol deposition, inflammation, and thrombus formation play a major role, and the role of eccentric remodeling, vasa vasorum neovascularization, and mechanisms of plaque rupture are systematically evaluated.

Mortality over a Period of 10 Years in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease

TL;DR: A 15-fold increase in rates of mortality due to cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease among subjects with large-vessel peripheral arterial disease that was both severe and symptomatic was revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coronary artery disease in peripheral vascular patients. A classification of 1000 coronary angiograms and results of surgical management.

TL;DR: In an attempt to reduce early and late mortality caused by myo-cardial infarction, coronary angiography was performed in 1000 patients under consideration for elective peripheral vascular reconstruction since 1978 and those found to have severe, surgically correctable coronary artery disease were advised to undergo myocardial revascularization (CABG), usually preceding other vascular procedures.

Coronary artery surgery study (CASS): a randomized trial of coronary artery bypass surgery. Survival data.

TL;DR: Patients similar to those enrolled in this trial can safely defer bypass surgery until symptoms worsen to the point that surgical palliation is required.

Update on Some Epidemiologic Features of Intermittent Claudication: The Framingham Study

TL;DR: A risk profile made up of the major cardiovascular risk factors was better for predicting IC than for predicting coronary heart disease, and mortality was increased two‐ to fourfold in men and women, respectively, mainly because of coexistent cardiovascular disease.

Twelve-year follow-up of survival in the randomized European Coronary Surgery Study.

TL;DR: The improvement in the survival rate among patients with stable angina who were treated surgically appears to have been attenuated after five years, and the gradually diminishing difference between the two survival curves still favored surgical treatment after 12 years.
