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.
