OBJECTIVE: To determine the risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in obese and non-obese Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver disease
RESULTS: Mean age of patients in obese and non-obese group was 46.34±12.52 and 45.43±11.83 years. In obese group minimum and maximum age of patients was 22 and 74 while in non-obese group it was 19 and 73 years. In obese group 109(56.8%) patients were males and 83(43.2%) were females while in non-obese group 101(52.6%) patients were males and 91(47.4%) were females. Mean body mass index of patients in obese and non-obese patients was 34.25±5.42 and 20.38±1.45 respectively. Severity of LVDD show significant difference between groups. The Grade-I LVDD was significantly higher in obese patients as compared to non-obese group respectively. i.e. p-value=0.036. Among non-obese patients age and gender were significant predictors of LVDD. As for gender it was OR:0.459. Among non-obese patients for gender the risk of LVDD was 0.459 times higher for female patients as compared to male patients
CONCLUSION: The left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is a common finding in NAFLD patients and routine echocardiography should be performed on time.
