| Core Tip |
This article shows that angiographically proven coronary artery stenosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a grade-dependent manner. Although many recent studies used coronary artery calcification score, carotid artery intima-media thickness, or carotid artery plaque measurements as surrogate markers for coronary artery disease (CAD), we evaluated the interaction between fatty liver and cardiovascular outcomes using coronary angiograms in a prospective case-controlled study. Because the pathogenesis of NAFLD and CAD is not fully elucidated, we attempted to identify mediators of these diseases and believe that adiponectin might be related to the development and progression of CAD in patients with NAFLD.
