Table 2.

Independent Predictors of Gensini score.

Predictors (R2 = 0.17) β (SE) P
Distal descending aorta wall area 10.34 (0.08) < 0.05
Ascending Aorta distensibility -7.29 (5.08) < 0.005
FMD -0.19 (0.08) < 0.05
Maximal Carotid Atheroma Class 0.7 (0.3) < 0.05

Using multivariate regression analysis, Maximal Carotid Atheroma Class, distal descending aorta atheroma burden, distensibility of the ascending aorta and FMD were independent predictors of modified Gensini score.
