Abstract
Background and study aim: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has
an increasing prevalence worldwide. It
has also been closely associated with obesity
and metabolic syndrome - two conditions
known to be associated with ischemic
heart disease (IHD). The aim of this study
was to assess the association between
NAFLD and ischemic heart disease.
Subjects and Methods: 140 patients with
NAFLD and 70 non-NAFLD subjects
were selected. Full history taking, clinical
examination and laboratory tests including
blood sugar, lipid profile and liver profile
were done. Ultrasonography was performed
to prove NAFLD while ECG and echocardiography were used for detection of
myocardial ischemia.
Results: Of the NAFLD group, the
frequency of mild, moderate and severe
NAFLD was 42.9%, 30% and 27.1%
respectively. Subjects with NAFLD had a
significantly higher BMI, waist
circumference and weight compared to those
of non NAFLD group (p=0.014, 0.0218
and
an increasing prevalence worldwide. It
has also been closely associated with obesity
and metabolic syndrome - two conditions
known to be associated with ischemic
heart disease (IHD). The aim of this study
was to assess the association between
NAFLD and ischemic heart disease.
