Fatty Liver and Heart Disease

  • サマリー

  • Over the past several weeks, we have been highlighting the connection between fatty liver and heart disease.
    This is a topic that we feel is not receiving enough discussion. The majority of individuals with fatty liver suffer from a constellation of disorders which is called metabolic syndrome. Within metabolic syndrome, patients have truncal obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol or triglycerides. This particular risk profile put you at high risk for the development of fatty liver but also for serious heart disease.


    Patients with fatty liver have a far more aggressive form of heart disease, with the increased risk of fatal complications in the event of a heart attack. In many cases, both the patient and primary care physicians underestimate the cardiovascular risk associated with fatty liver disease and unfortunately ignore these risk factors.
    This past week’s episode of Your Health First highlighted this discussion. We had Dr. Mazen Noureddin, an expert in fatty liver and fatty liver research, as well as Dr. Randeep Suneja, and acclaimed cardiologist here in Houston. Together they outlined the nature of the public health risk, and steps to take to combat it.
