Abstract

The manifestations of atherothrombosis such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, limb ischemia, or cardiovascular death pose a global health care burden. Additional therapies to decrease ischemic events in patients with established vascular disease or at risk for developing vascular disease are necessary. We sought to characterize the risk factors and treatments of a diverse contemporary population of patients with atherothrombosis.
