Abstract :Aim: To investigate the strength of correlations between some anthropometric parameters, SYNTAX scores and epicardial adipose tissue insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EFT); in coronary artery disease insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAD);. Also to determine for the first time that the upper half of the chest circumference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CCuH); and neck circumference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NC);/neck length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(NL); ratio may be an indicator for predicting cardiovascular risk Material and Methods: This study included 370 individuals insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(198 males and 172 females);, who were either diagnosed with CAD insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=300); or who were the control group participants insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=70);. The EFT was measured and calculated SYNTAX score. Anthropometric measurements included height, weight, NL, NC, Waist circumference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WC);, CCuH, Hip circumference insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HC);, and sagittal abdominal diameter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SAD);, Body Mass Index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BMI);, Waist circumference/Hip circumference ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WHR);, and NC/NL ratio. The study was approved by the Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University Non-Interventional Clinical Research Ethics Committee insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Protocol number: 2019/29);. Results: The statistical differences in the NL, CCuH, HC, and SAD were observed to be non-significant between the CAD patients and the control group. The NC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(367.06±1.99, 37.49±2.64, p=0.04);, NC/NL ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2.44±0.16, 2.50±0.21, p=0.02);, WC insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(104.69±8.27, 107.55±10.77, p=0.04);, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LVEF); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(62);-insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(51); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, and EFT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.06±0.33);-insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.41±0.80); were statistically significantly different between the control group and the CAD group insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Elevated SYNTAX scores insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.15, p=0.01); and increased EFT insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r=0.21, p<0.001); were more common in male patients. Conclusion: The SYNTAX score was determined to be correlated with the NC, NC/NL ratio, CCuH, WC, HC, WHR, SAD, and EFT and it was found that these parameters increased significantly with increasing SYNTAX scores. These results show that, in addition to the SYNTAX score, anthropometric measurements and EFT quantity can be used for determining the severity of CAD.
