Objective  To investigate the incidence and risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with myocardial infarction.
Methods  A total of 634 patients with myocardial infarction from Beijing Anzhen Hospital were asked to take liver and gallbladder ultrasonography during hospitalization, and then divided into the NAFLD and non-NAFLD groups. The incidence and risk factors of the two groups were then analyzed.
Results  The incidence of NAFLD was 52.2% (331/634). Both body mass index (BMI) and serum alanine aminotransferase of the NAFLD group were higher than those of non-NAFLD group, with significant difference (P lt;0.05). The incidence of NAFLD was positively increased following the severity of coronary diseases (χ2=7.275, P=0.03). The result of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed BMI, multi-vessel lesions of coronary disease, and left main coronary artery lesion were the independent risk factors of NAFLD.
Conclusion  The myocardial infarction patients who are particularly complicated by overweight, multi-vessel lesions and left main coronary artery lesion have a higher incidence of NAFLD.
