Copresence of abdominal aortic aneurysm in symptomatic coronary artery disease patients

Conclusions In North Western India, the prevalence of AAA is lesser, both in CAD group and in controls, as compared to western countries. Prevalence of AAA increases with increasing severity of CAD; hence AAA should be screened, particularly in TVD patients. CAD patients may be considered for earlier screening for AAA than the general population.
