BACKGROUND: Evidence that individuals with excess fat in the pancreas have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease has been growing recently. Risk evaluation in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients plays a crucial role for both prognosis prediction and decision-making. AIM: The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between non-alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) and the complexity and severity of coronary artery disease as assessed using the SYNTAX score (SXscore) in ACS patients. METHODS: A total of 99 consecutive patients with a first-time diagnosis of ACS were recruited. NAFPD was evaluated using transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS). SXscore was calculated using the SXscore algorithm. RESULTS: The patients with NAFPD had a significantly higher SXscore than those without NAFPD (12.3 ± 6.4 and 8.2 ± 4.3, p < 0.001). Univariable analysis showed that hypertension (p = 0.033) and presence of NAFPD (p = 0.001) were associated with increased SXscore. Moreover, multivariable analysis showed that the presence of NAFPD (p = 0.002) was associated with increased SXscore. CONCLUSIONS: NAFPD is easily detected by TUS. The presence of NAFPD in ACS patients may be a warning signal of complexity and severity of coronary artery disease. |
