Multimodal cardiovascular magnetic resonance quantifies regional variation in vascular structure and function in patients with coronary artery disease: Relationships with coronary disease severity

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.
