Why the study?
The predictive value of individual vascular beds in polyvascular disease to predict mortality in patients with atherosclerotic burden was not clear.
Does the extent of polyvascular disease predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients referred for coronary angiography?
Does the extent of polyvascular disease predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients referred for coronary angiography?
The presence of polyvascular disease, particularly when involving peripheral arterial disease, strongly and cumulatively predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Increasing vascular beds associated with stepwise higher mortality, especially PAD-inclusive PVD; extends observational data but leaves open prospective trials.
