One of the most killer and common silent disease worldwide is Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), contributing high morbidity and mortality. The approximate of Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) to the coronary arteries plays an important role within the pathogenesis of CAD previous studies proved that coronary artery disease had been recommended to be directly related to the Epicardial adipose tissue thickness. The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of epicardial adipose tissues thickness in predicting coronary artery stenosis. A cross-sectional study carried out at Al-Sader teaching medical city during the period from the first of January to the 15th of October 2014 included 80 with coronary artery diseases underwent cardiac catheterization regardless their age or gender. Patients with valvular hear diseases or poor echocardiographic window were excluded. ECG, the Echocardiographic examination were …
