A: acute coronary syndrome (ACS) alone; B: ACS plus peripheral arterial disease (PAD); C: ACS plus cerebrovascular disease (CVD); D: ACS plus PAD plus CVD; PolyVD: polyvascular disease, all categorical variables represents in percentage (%); DM: diabetes mellitus; N/A: data not available; *prior/current smoking. Data were collected from [6, 7, 9].
