Is severity of coronary artery disease but not degree of coronary stenosis correlated to cerebrovascular reactivity?
Although atherosclerosis is a systemic disease our data support concepts of a heterogeneous distribution of the disease indicating protection of brain vessels.
The risk of subclinical AAA and future AAA events is high among patients with coronary disease. Screening for AAA among CAD patients by cardiologists would be easy and inexpensive, with possible benefits to survival and risk evaluation.
