Abstract
Background and Aims : It is now well established that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with a significant increase in the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. NAFLD-specific cardiovascular risk scores, considering traditional and nontraditional risk factors, are needed to improve patient care. Liver fibrosis may be an integrative indicator of the burden of cardiometabolic risk factors. Liver fibrosis may also represent the burden of subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between liver stiffness and carotid plaque burden in patients with NAFLD without established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
