Epicardial fat thickness and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in obese subjects

Ectopic fat accumulation within the heart and the liver are linked to an increased cardiovascular risk. Ultrasound‐measured cardiac and liver steatosis are easily accessible markers of intra‐organ ectopic fat accumulation. The hypothesis that echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness is independently associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese subjects is tested.
