Data on survival curves for overall survival and freedom from cardiovascular death at different ankle brachial index (ABI) and ankle pressure (AP) are shown separately for symptomatic and contralateral lower limbs in 721 patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease at up to 7 years follow-up. Cox regression analysis with confounding factors for ABI and AP are also shown. Dates and causes of death were collected from the Finnish national statistics registry.
