Clinical characteristics of patients with premature lower extremity atherosclerosis associated with familial early cardiovascular disease and/or cancer.

International angiology : a journal of the International Union of Angiology - 1 Sept 2006

Levy P J, Jackson S A, McCoy T P, Ferrario C M

Abstract excerpt

AIM: In the past decade we experienced a steady growth in the number of young smokers with severe premature lower extremity atherosclerosis (PLEA) and high frequency of familial cardiovascular disease (Fam CVD). The widely used Framingham risk score does not include Fam CVD among predictors of incident CVD. METHODS: We studied 370 patients younger than 55 with severe PLEA (45% females, 96% smokers) treated...
