. 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.
