Official Title: EndoNAFLD: Evaluation of the Relationship Between Fatty Liver Disease and Endothelial Damage in Patients at High Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Brief Summary:
Management of risk factors is the primary approach to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD).In this regard the accurate scoring of disease risk is fundamental.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged recently as a potential mediator of CVD onset and progression.The hypothesis is that NAFLD can be a predictive CVD risk factor, independent of other classical and well-known risk factors.Preliminary epidemiological studies suggested that the fat infiltration in the liver mirrored the cardiometabolic status…
