title: Prevalence of coronary artery disease, lower extremity peripheral arterial disease, and cerebrovascular disease in 110 men with an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
abstract: Of 110 men (mean age 66 years) with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, 78 (71%) had coronary artery disease (CAD), 50 (46%) had lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and 30 (27%) had cerebrovascular disease. Twenty-four percent of the patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm had CAD plus lower extremity PAD plus cerebrovascular disease, 22% had CAD plus lower extremity PAD and no cerebrovascular disease, 22% had only CAD, 4% had CAD plus cerebrovascular disease and no lower extremity PAD, and 29% had no CAD, lower extremity PAD, or cerebrovascular disease.
