Key Words	Quantification of epicardial fat; Coronary heart disease; Epicardial fat volume
Core Tip	There is a great correlation between the volume of epicardial fat and presence of significant coronary artery disease. There are different methods for quantification of epicardial fat volume (EFV). The aim of the study is to compare the predictive value of the three methods used for quantification of epicardial fat (EFV, EFV indexed with body surface area and EFV indexed with body mass index) for presence of significant coronary artery disease. The study concluded the three methods for assessment of epicardial fat have the same equivalent predictive value for significant coronary artery disease and any one of them can be used as a sensitive predictor for significant coronary artery disease.
