Aim: To study the prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Coronary Artery Disease patient and the correlation of Coronary Artery Disease severity in patients of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Materials and Methods: Study included 124 patients of Coronary Artery Disease who underwent detailed clinical and anthropometric examination and routine blood investigations. Ultrasonography of abdomen was done and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease grading was done. Coronary angiography was done and angiographic severity was calculated by Gensini score.
Result: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease was found in 71% of patient. There is a significant difference of Gensini score between patients with and without Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. All the stage of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease had a significant difference of Gensini score among them with but there was no difference of Gensini score between stage 1 and 2.
Conclusion: The presence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is associated with a higher Gensini score, however a higher grade of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease doesn’t mandate a higher Gensini score.
