We used three measures SYNTAX score, Gensini score and number of diseased vessels . Method: It is a cross sectional study from November 2018 to July 2019 including 160 male and female patients . Patients who had non obstructive coronary artery disease like coronary ectasia, slow flow and corkscrew coronary arteries were excluded . The 160 cases had been divided according to SYNTAX score into three groups(low, intermediate, high score). Another division according to ABI into two groups(abnormal | ||
