Aortic Elasticity Indices as Predictors of Coronary Artery Disease Severity Assessed by SYNTAX Score.

Background: Aortic elastic properties have been related to coronary artery disease (CAD) morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess the relation of aortic elasticity indices to the severity and complexity of CAD assessed using the SYNTAX Score (SS), evaluating which of these indices have better predictivity for CAD severity.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively enrolled 150 individuals who underwent elective coronary angiography for suspected CAD, out of them 29 (19.
