<br/><br/> Background  Worldwide, Egypt is among the first four countries suffering from obesity. waist circumference [WC] is a component used to define metabolic syndrome[MS]. The role of WC as an independent predictor of silent myocardial ischemia [SMI], above its contribution to metabolic syndrome, remains unknown in Egyptian obese patients hence we aimed to detect SMI in such patients. Conclusion  Obese Egyptian patients with WC >80cm in women and 94 cm in men are independently associated with an increased prevalence of SMI
