Increased risk for development of coronary artery calcification in subjects with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and systemic inflammation.
Recent studies have suggested the importance of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and systemic inflammation in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to compare the risk for coronary artery calcification (CAC) development according to the status of NAFLD and inflammati...
