Abstract

Objective To evaluate the relation of carotid and femoral atherosclerosis to coronary artery disease(CAD).MethodsCarotid,femoral artery (CA,FA) ultrasonography and analysis of endothelium-dependent dilation were conducted in 56 consecutive patients who underwent examines of coronary angiography and the correlation between two examinations was analyzed.Results The IMT,and plaque progressively increased with the extent of CAD.The IMT and plaque of patients with multiple diseased branches was highest than with one (P0.01).The predictive accuracy to CAD by detecting the femoral artery plaque was higher than the carotid plaque (73.1% vs.65.1%).The predictive value to CAD of atherosclerotic plaque in CA and FA was highest.Conclusion Carotid and femoral atherosclerosis might be risk factors of CAD.The examinated in carotid,femoral artery has great values in predicting CAD.
