    Proportional prevalence of asymptomatic (risk factors only), and established atherothrombotic disease in a single vascular bed or in more than one vascular bed (polyvascular disease) in patients with or without AAA in the REACH Registry. 1 location = established atherothrombotic disease in a single vascular bed (i.e. CAD, CVD or PAD); 2 or 3 locations = established atherothrombotic disease in two or three vascular beds (various combinations possible).

 The REACH Registry is sponsored by Sanofi-Aventis and Bristol-Myers Squibb, and sponsored by the Waksman Foundation in Japan.
