Resumen
Background
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is characterized by abnormal dilatation of the coronary arteries and is associated with endothelial dysfunction and systemic inflammation. The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX) has emerged as a novel biomarker reflecting endothelial activation and inflammatory stress.
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the association between EASIX score and the presence of CAE.
