Liver stiffness measurement identifies subclinical myocardial dysfunction in non-advanced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients without overt heart disease

Patients with non-advanced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have an increased cardiovascular risk. The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) and myocardial deformation indices of all cardiac chambers...

Description
Summary:Patients with non-advanced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have an increased cardiovascular risk. The present study was designed to evaluate the relationship between liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) and myocardial deformation indices of all cardiac chambers in NAFLD patients without overt heart disease. All consecutive NAFLD patients diagnosed with LSM
