A correlation between the angle of multiple scattering and the ionization energy loss for relativistic electrons in an amorphous medium is evaluated based on a solution of the transport equation. The correlation is found to be the strongest in the large deflection angle region, but also sizable at typical deflection angles, where it leads to a broadening of the angular distribution with the increase of the energy loss. The mean energy loss as a function of the deflection angle grows quadratically with the increase of the latter, but the proportionality coefficient changes when passing from the small- to the large-deflection angle region.
