Our aim was to evaluate the role of traditional versus newer markers of obesity, in risk assessment of CAD. 50 consecutive ACS patients and 20 controls were enrolled.Visceral and Subcutaneous fat (VFAT and SFAT) analysis was done using multi-slice abdominal MRI. Syntax score was calculated from coronary angiogram. In our study, BMI and Waist/Hip ratios showed poor correlation with Syntax score. VFAT and SFAT showed strong correlation with Syntax score (p-0.01,0.03) and a more significant correlation was noted with their areas at L3-L4 levels (p-0.01,0.05). Statistically significant ROC- area under curve was observed with Indexed SFAT.
