As a multisystem disease, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is closely linked to the onset and progression of coronary heart disease (CHD). Ultrasonographic fatty liver indicator (US-FLI) is a semi-quantitative tool for evaluating the degree of hepatic steatosis. Our study aims to explore the relationship between US-FLI based on MAFLD and the severity of CHD.
Patients older than 18 years old
Patients underwent ICA due to chest pain, chest tightness or other reasons in our hospital from August 2022 to December 2023 were included in our study
Incomplete clinical data
previous coronary stent implantation
no abdominal ultrasound examination
poor ultrasound image quality
All research subjects were from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University

SYNTAX score
The complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is a predictor of cardiovascular events in patients with \>50 % diameter stenosis as determined by SYNTAX score. The range of US-FLI is 0-8. Fatty liver was diagnosed when US-FLI ≥ 2.
