چکیده
Background and Aims : It is now well established that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) associated with a significant increase in the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. NAFLD-specific scores, considering traditional nontraditional factors, are needed to improve patient care. Liver fibrosis may be an integrative indicator burden cardiometabolic factors. also represent subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim study was investigate relationships between stiffness carotid plaque patients NAFLD without atherosclerotic disease.Methods: A total 73 patients, 42 (57.5%) male 31 (42.5%) female, median age 48.5 (42.0-55.7) years, were included study. steatosis assessed non-invasively using ultrasound-based Hamaguchi score. investigated by transient elastography FibroScan®. All underwent duplex scan. Carotid area (cTPA) measured as burden.Conclusions: In middle-aged NAFLD, increased burden. disease. Methods: Conclusions:
