Patients were divided into the ACS group and the control group. The severity of ACS was determined by Gensini score, number of diseased coronary artery and the presence of myocardial infarction (MI). Data showed that the level of FAR in ACS group was higher than in the control group (81.20\u2009\u00b1\u200935.45 vs. 72.89\u2009\u00b1\u200920.24, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The results from subgroup analysis indicated that the values of FAR in the high Gensini score group, MI group and multiple-vessel stenosis group were higher than the matched subgroups. After adjustment for confounders, FAR was still independently related to the presence and severity of ACS (MI OR 2.097, 95%CI 1.430\u20133.076; High GS: OR 2.335, 95%CI 1.567\u20133.479; multiple-vessel disease: OR 2.088, 95%CI 1.439\u20133.030; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The levels of FAR are independently associated with the presence and the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with ACS.
