Introdution: Aortic valve sclerosis is defined as calcification of the aortic leaflets without impairment in leaflet excursion or antegrade velocity across the valve 60 years with aortic valve sclerosis had higher prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease with p value of <0.05 & AVS is considered as independent predictor of obstructive CAD. Conclusion: Our study concludes that AVS is strongly associated with the extent of coronary artery disease and that echocardiographic detection of AVS in patients undergoing coronary angiography may be considered as a new surrogate marker for the extent of coronary atherosclerosis and thereof CAD
