Key result
Presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome was independently associated with a supramedian SYNTAX Score (OR 13.20; 95% CI 2.52-69.15).

Population
80 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)

In patients with acute coronary syndrome, the presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is strongly associated with more complex coronary artery disease as measured by the SYNTAX Score.

Ağaç et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=80). Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) vs. Patients without NAFLD was evaluated on SYNTAX Score (SS) (OR 13.20, 95% CI 2.52-69.15, p=.001). Presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome was independently associated with a supramedian SYNTAX Score (OR 13.20; 95% CI 2.52-69.15).
