Key result
Peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction compared to matched controls (13.7% vs. 6.1%, P<0.001).

May support LV function screening in peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease outpatients; hypothesis-generating for causality and outcomes.
Case-Control (n=832)
Is peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease associated with a higher prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction compared to matched controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 13.7% vs 6.1%
p-value: p=< 0.001
Outpatients with peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease have a higher prevalence of mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction, which is independently associated with stenotic internal carotid artery disease but not lower extremity artery disease.
Hedberg et al. (2014) conducted a case-control in Peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease (n=832). Peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease vs. Population-based matched controls was evaluated on Prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF <55%) (p=< 0.001). Peripheral atherosclerotic vascular disease was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction compared to matched controls (13.7% vs. 6.1%, P<0.001).
