Correlation Between Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
CONCLUSION: CIMT is increased in NAFLD patients. Increase in CIMT is significantly correlated with increasing grades of NAFLD. Hence CIMT can be used as screening tests in NALFD patients to assess cardiovascular risks.PMID:35443534

Severity of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is Associated With Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Prehypertension or Hypertension: A Community –Based Cohort Study
ConclusionsOur findings indicated that the increased cardiovascular risk with elevated BP is largely driven by the coexistence of moderate/severe NAFLD, suggesting that the severity of NAFLD may help further stratify patients with prehypertension and hypertension.

Association of NAFLD with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality: a large-scale prospective cohort study based on UK Biobank
CONCLUSION: NAFLD is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality and adverse CVD outcomes. Based on the traditional CVD risk factor model, additionally screening NAFLD could improve the prediction efficiency for adverse CVD outcomes.PMID:36159632 | PMC:PMC9493675 | DOI:10.1177/20406223221122478

Reduced thoracic fluid content in early stage primary biliary cirrhosis that associates with impaired cardiac inotropy.
Conclusion: This study has confirmed that TFC is reduced in those with PBC, that this is specific to PBC and that it associates independently with markers of cardiac inotropy. PMID: 23868409 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Role of Statins in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: an Update.
Abstract The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing worldwide. T2DM is associated with both microvascular (neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy) and macrovascular complications [coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, carotid artery disease and peripheral artery disease (PAD)]. Apart from acting on diabetic dyslipidemia, statins were shown to exert beneficial effects on several diabetic complications as well as other cardiovascular (CVD) risk predictors such as endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, chronic kidney disease (CKD), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), me...

Adiponectin as a routine clinical biomarker.
Abstract Adiponectin is a protein synthesized and secreted predominantly by adipocytes into the peripheral blood. However, circulating adiponectin level is inversely related with body weight, especially visceral fat accumulation. The mechanism of this paradoxical relation remains obscure. Low circulating adiponectin concentrations (hypoadiponectinemia; <4 μg/mL) are associated with a variety of diseases, including dysmetabolism (type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, hyperuricemia), atherosclerosis (coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease), slee...

Reply Effects of Habitual Coffee Consumption on Vascular Function
We thank Dr. Siasos and colleagues for pointing out that habitual coffee consumption has been associated with improved endothelial function in elderly inhabitants of Ikaria Island (1). The improvement in endothelial function may in part account for the associations of moderate coffee intake (about 2 to 4 cups daily) with lower risks for coronary heart disease and stroke (2). Indeed, even in the setting of endothelium damage, coffee has the ability to prevent arterial thrombus formation, a benefit that is independent of its caffeine content (3). Recent studies also indicate that moderate daily coffee intake may confer pro...

Ten-point plan to tackle liver disease published
"Doctors call for tougher laws on alcohol abuse to tackle liver disease crisis," The Guardian reports. But this is just one of 10 recommendations for tackling the burden of liver disease published in a special report in The Lancet.The report paints a grim picture of an emerging crisis in liver disease in the UK, saying it is one of the few countries in Europe where liver disease and deaths have actually increased rapidly over the last 30 years. It concludes with 10 recommendations to tackle the burden of liver disease.The media has approached the recommendations from many different angles, with many sources only ...

Study finds obese people may struggle to reach a healthy weight
ConclusionThis research makes use of a general practice database providing just under 10 years of BMI observations for a large, nationally representative UK sample. It demonstrates that low proportions of people in the obese categories were able to achieve a normal BMI over a year of follow-up, and the common problem of weight cycling. However, there are points to consider when interpreting these results: The probability of obtaining a normal BMI over a year was very low: only 1 in 210 for men and 1 in 124 for women in the "simple obese" category of 30 to 35kg/m2, and much lower than that for the higher categor...
