This study investigated the value of arterial elasticity measurement in the early diagnosis of angiographic coronary artery atherosclerosis in 105 consecutive elderly patients. They were divided into two groups according to the results of selective coronary angiography: 55 with coronary atherosclerosis and 50 with a normal coronary angiogram. The Gensini score of the coronary artery was acquired and capacitive arterial compliance (C1) and oscillatory arterial compliance (C2) were measured. An independent-sample t-test was used to evaluate the difference in C1 and C2 between the two groups. Bivariate analyses were performed to study the association between the Gensini score and C1 and C2. A significant difference between the two groups in C2 was found and the Gensini score of the coronary artery was significantly correlated with C2. Identification of early coronary atherosclerosis in geriatrics may be aided by the prognostic value of C2.
