BackgroundTo investigate whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 2 diabetic patients, who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA).MethodsBetween June 2007 and May 2010, a total of 273 type 2 diabetic patients without known liver disease underwent coronary CTA for chest pain were enrolled. Axial, multiplanar, and Maximum intensity projection (MIP) images were used for determining the cardiovascular disease. Liver fat content was measured from unenhanced CT images obtained for calcium scoring. Moderate and severe NAFLD was defined when mean liver attenuation value is 40 Hounsfield Unit (HU).ResultsAmong 273 patients, 76% of the patients (n=207) had CAD; 48% of them had significant CAD (50 stenosis) by coronary CTA. Patients with CAD were older and male gender was predominant. Mean liver attenuation value calculated with CT was 5012 HU. Mean liver attenuation value was lower in patients with metabolic syndrome compared to patients without metabolic syndrome (P
