Summary:To investigate the diagnostic value of peripheral artery ultrasonography for coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD). Peripheral artery ultrasonography was conducted among 135 consecutive examinees of coronary arteriography before the CAG. The results of peripheral artery ultrasonography and of coronary arteriography were analyzed with Stepwise multiple regression analysis and Logistic regression. The incidence of atherosclerotic plaques of carotid, subclavicular, abdominal aortic, iliac and femoral arteries in patients with positive coronary arteriography was significantly higher than that in the subjects with negative coronary arteriography (P < 0.01); Logistic regression indicated that the presence of atherosclerotic plaques in femoral, abdominal aortic, and common iliac arteries was significantly closely correlated with CAD (P < 0.005, < 0.01, and < 0.05 respectively). Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that common iliac IMT and femoral IMT were significant closely associated with the severity of
