Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses a case of a 50-year-old man with early coronary artery disease who exhibited a unique physical sign: symmetrical bulging of the sideburn areas, which are anatomically linked to the buccal fat pad, a type of visceral fat.
  • It highlights that visceral obesity, particularly in specific areas like the buccal fat pads, may serve as a visible marker for cardiovascular risk, independent of overall body weight.
  • The concept introduced is "Sideburns Obesity Syndrome," suggesting that sideburn fat could potentially be an important diagnostic sign for identifying individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular disease.]
