Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common clinical condition. It is increasingly a common chronic liver disease with worldwide distribution. Multislice CT is used for diagnosis of fatty liver & coronary artery diseases. NAFLD can predict presence of coronary atherosclerosis in Egyptian population. The mechanism of association between fatty liver & coronary artery disease is not so clear, yet there are many suggested mechanisms. Presence of fatty liver may help early diagnosis & management of subclinical coronary artery disease & may help in cardiovascular risk stratification and assessment
