Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction and carotid atherosclerosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Highlights
Obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are both well-known metabolic risk factors for prediabetes and diabetes mellitus (DM) [2]
Increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular disease (CVD)
CIMT is an important marker in the evaluation of subclinical atherosclerosis and a well-known predictor in the development of cardiovascular events [6]
Summary
Obesity and NAFLD are both well-known metabolic risk factors for prediabetes and diabetes mellitus (DM) [2]. Increased CIMT is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, and CVD. CIMT is an important marker in the evaluation of subclinical atherosclerosis and a well-known predictor in the development of cardiovascular events (independent of other cardiovascular risk factors) [6]. There was a relationship between CIMT and the degree of liver damage
