Purpose: This study aims to compare Coronary Slow Flow (CSF) with Coronary Normal Flow (CNF) and CSF in Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count results using anthropometric measurements. Materials and methods: The study was performed in 78 subjects with CSF and 72 with CNF on coronary angiography according to the inclusion criteria. In our study, 66.7% of the individuals with CSF were male and the mean age was 52.62 ± 11.23 years. Results: In our study, 88.1% of obese individuals had CSF and 75.8% of normal weight individuals had CNF. The mean scores of weight, body mass index (BMI), Neck Circumference (NC), Neck Length (NL), Neck Heingt/Neck Circumference Rate (NL/NC), Upper Chest Circumference (UCC), Waist Circumference (WC), Saggital Waist Height (SWH), Triceps Skinfold Thickness (TTS) Subscapular Skinfold Thickness (SST), Femur Diameter (FD), Humerus Diameter (HD) and Waist Circumference/Height Rate (WC/H rate) were higher in individuals with CSF than in individuals with CNF and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In the TIMI frame count results, CSF was detected in the ACS coronary artery in 76.9% and in three coronary arteries in 19.2% of the individuals. Conclusion: The mean weight, BMI, NC, WC, HC, SWH, TTS, SST, FD and HD scores of individuals with CSF in three coronary arteries in TIMI frame count results were significantly higher than those without CSF (p < 0.05). Anthropometric measurements such as weight, BMI, NC, NL/NC, UCC, WC, HC, SWH, TTS, SST, FD, HD and WC/H rate may be predictors of CSF.
