Polyvascular disease, reflecting the spread of severe atherosclerotic lesions, is an independent and powerful predictive factor of mortality and the occurrence of cardiovascular events in the short and medium term in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The objective of the study is to evaluate the predictive factors of the existence of a polyvascular disease in a population presenting with acute coronary syndrome. 336 consecutive patients are included and screened. Hypertension and thinness appear to be the risk factors most strongly linked to the existence of a polyvascular disease. Their Hazard ratio are respectively 3.82 and 4, 27.
