Peripheral artery disease carries a higher long-term mortality risk than myocardial infarction, reinforcing its status as a coronary heart disease risk equivalent that requires aggressive secondary prevention.
Both women and men with incident PAD have greater long-term risks of total and cardiovascular mortality vs. those with incident MI. PAD should be considered a CHD risk equivalent, warranting aggressive secondary prevention.
