Study Summary
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a global health concern with a suspected increasing prevalence due to the rise in obesity and diabetes mellitus. The vast majority of patients will have isolated steatosis or steatosis with mild inflammation that is very unlikely to progress in severity. However, about 25% of patients with NAFLD have non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the more aggressive form of the disease that is associated with fibrosis progression and potential risk for cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease complications. Additionally, multiple studies have demonstrated an association between NAFLD and the presence of coronary artery disease by either coronary CT angiography (CCTA) or coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. Cardiovascular disease is the most important cause of mortality in patients with the entire spectrum of NAFLD. In the era of advanced imaging and functional vascular assessment it is possible that novel risk assessments are poised to refine overall prognostic estimation in this population. Multiple analyses have suggested that NAFLD is an independent and strong predictor of significant CAD independent of cardiovascular risk factors, including a significant burden of high risk CCTA findings in one analysis of symptomatic patients in the emergency department. Given the multiple metabolic derangements inherent in the NAFLD population, endothelial dysfunction is also an important contributor to global cardiovascular dysfunction. Furthermore, data suggests that patients with NAFLD may be at increased risk of adenomatous polyp formation and colorectal adenocarcinoma. In addition, it is suboptimal to require a liver biopsy to diagnose NASH. Recent imaging advances have made it possible to assess liver fibrosis but have yet to be fully studied in NAFLD. The purpose of this study is to assess the current prevalence and severity of NAFLD in adult subjects. Secondary endpoints include correlation to new vascular function (cine scan of the abdo
