Key result
Worsening of thoracic aorta local elasticity was significantly associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, including stenosis >70%, occlusion, or multi-vessel disease.
Why the study?
It became possible to evaluate the association between the elasticity of the aorta and coronary atherosclerosis using echocardiography.
Is worsening of thoracic aorta elasticity associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis?
Observational (n=109)
Is worsening of thoracic aorta elasticity associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis?
Worsening of thoracic aorta elasticity measured by echocardiography is associated with severe coronary atherosclerosis.
Introduction. Became possible to evaluate association between the elasticity of aorta and coronary atherosclerosis using echocardiography.Purpose. To evaluate the association between worsening of the local thoracic aorta elasticity and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis. Material and methods. With the application of echocardiography and coronarography there were examined 109 patients. Results. With stenosis >70%, occlusion or lesion of 2 or more coronary arteries, statistically significant differences were revealed. Conclusion. Worsening of thoracic aorta local elasticity in patients with coronary atherosclerosisis associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis.

Mushkambarov et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Coronary atherosclerosis (n=109). Worsening of thoracic aorta local elasticity was evaluated on Severity of coronary atherosclerosis (stenosis >70%, occlusion or lesion of 2 or more coronary arteries). Worsening of thoracic aorta local elasticity was significantly associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, including stenosis >70%, occlusion, or multi-vessel disease.
