Correlating Coronary Artery Disease and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver among a Sample of the Egyptian Population, Using Multislice CT

چکیده
The gold standard for diagnosis of CAD is the conventional coronary angiography, however, it is invasive and may be associated with complications. In addition, it provides little information on the early atherosclerotic wall changes that occurs in the coronary artery disease. Multislice CT coronary angiography has been introduced as a non invasive modality to detect coronary atherosclerosis and classify coronary artery disease [5] . It can evaluate the vessel wall, visualize calcified and non calcified plaques and assess the degree of luminal narrowing [6] .
