Abstract
Atherothrombosis (coronary artery disease [CAD], cerebrovascular disease [CVD], and peripheral arterial disease [PAD]) is associated with the main causes of mortality on a worldwide scale. Recent US data have confirmed that despite a decrease in age-standardized national death rates, the absolute number of deaths from these conditions continues to increase,1 and prevalence is sharply increasing in other parts of the world. Thus, atherothrombotic diseases are, and are projected still to be, the leading cause of death worldwide by 2020.2Keywords
