The Relationship between Visceral Adiposity Form of (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Increased Epicardial Adipose Tissue Mass) with Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the largest cause of death in the world, and coronary artery disease (CAD) makes up the greatest proportion of those deaths that may enable more sensitive measures for risk stratification, or offer novel therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of coronary vascular disease. Excess adiposity has long been associated with increased cardiovascular disease. A growing amount of evidence suggests that regional fat distribution plays an important part in the development of an unfavorable metabolic and cardiovascular risk profile. This study group was consisted of fifty patients presented with signs and symptoms of coronary artery disease who were coming for elective coronary angiography to determine the relation between adipose tissue form of NAFLD and EAT with severity of coronary artery disease. The age of patients in our study ranged from 30-74 years old with BMI ranged from 25-34. Thirty four patients (68%) were with the history of hypertension and 33 patients (66%) with the history of
