Ischemic Heart Disease; Association of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Abstract

ABSTRACT… Objectives: To find the correlation between the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NFALD) and ischemic heart disease. Study Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Period: May 2014 to Nov 2014. Setting: CPE Institute of Cardiology. Material and methods: One hundred and thirty five participants were incorporated in the study. In Group I; patients were with NAFLD and in group II; patients were without NAFLD. Data was Analyzed using SPSS V20 software. Results: Mean age in NAFLD group was 52.0+02.6 years and in without NAFLD 53.0+1.89 years. There were 73.2 % males in NAFLD group. Incidence of Family history and diabetes was higher in NAFLD group. The incidence of carotid artery stenosis was 4 (9.7%) in NAFLD group versus 6 (6.3%) in without NAFLD group. we also found a significantly higher incidence of triple vessel and left main stem disease in NAFLD group, it was 34 (80.87%) and 3 (7.31%) in NAFLD group versus 9 (9.7%) and 2 (2.12%) in without NALD group respectively. Conclusion: Non-alcoholic Fatty liver Disease has a strong correlation with ischemic heart disease.
