title: Prognostic significance of cerebrovascular disease in 11,526 chronic coronary artery disease patients. Bezafibrate Infarction Prevention (BIP) Study Group.
abstract: Patients with chronic CAD and a history of cerebrovascular events were compared with patients without prior cerebrovascular events to assess the effect of these events on 5-year prognosis. Despite adjustment for older age and higher comorbidity among patients who had experienced a cerebrovascular event, a history of such an event was associated with an increased risk of 1.86 for total mortality.
