Fig 1 Kaplan-Meier estimates of the risk of the primary composite end point (myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or cardiovascular [CV] death), all-cause mortality, and myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke after revascularization, separated by peripheral artery disease (PAD) stage. CI, Confidence interval; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HR, hazard ratio.
