Fatty liver index correlates with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease but not with newly diagnosed coronary artery atherosclerotic disease in Chinese patients

摘要

BackgroundFatty liver index (FLI) was recently established to predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in general population, which is known to be associated with coronary artery atherosclerotic disease (CAD).This study aims to investigate whether FLI correlates with NAFLD and with newly diagnosed CAD in a special Chinese population who underwent coronary angiography.
