Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are systemic processes frequently involving multiple vascular beds. Cardiovascular multimorbidity, arbitrarily defined as a clinically relevant disease of at least two major vascular beds in a single individual is frequent occurring in 30% to 70% of patients depending on the patient population. Management of patients with cardiovascular multimorbidity is complex requiring an interdisciplinary consensus and coordination. A panvascular concept of an interdisciplinary integrated management of these patients is introduced.
