Abstract

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.
