Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been for many years the major cause of deaths in the World. In Europe, despite recent decreases in mortality rates in many countries, CVD is still responsible for about half (46%) of all deaths. Atherosclerosis is a chronic progressive disease which can affect any vascular bed (coronary, cerebrovascular, visceral, peripheral arterial) as a single disease but can also occurs in more than one territory as polyvascular disease. Presence of atherosclerotic disease in one vascular bed frequently indicates an increased risk for its presence in another. The prevalence of polyvascular disease varies from 6% to 71%, depend on the population in whom the study was performed as well as on the study design. Polyvascular disease patients have the worse higher risk profile and worse prognosis than patients with disease in single arterial territory and an improvement in detection and consequent treatment of these patients have been claimed as necessary. The most difficult choice of treatment tactics is the group of patients with peripheral artery disease and concomitant atherosclerotic lesions of other arterial beds. According to a population study conducted in the United States among 3.6 million healthy volunteers based on ultrasound screening, the detection of two or more arterial regions increases with age from 0.04% at 40-50 years, to 3.6% at 80-90 years. At the same time, the results of treatment and prognosis in these patients are much worse than in those with isolated lesions of only one vascular beds.
