Cardio-NASH: Correlation Between Hepatic Fibrosis and Cardiovascular Risk Evaluated by Non-invasive Tests in Patients With NAFLD
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study aims to examine the link between Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular diseases by studying the association between liver fibrosis degree and cardiovascular risk factors. The study would clarify the value and the role of the Coronary calcium score (CAC score) in the screening for coronary disease in this population at high cardiovascular risk.

Detailed Description
Hepatic Fibrosis and Cardiovascular Risk are evaluated by non invasive tests
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Coronary calcium score [At inclusion]
Score in Agatston IU of coronary atherosclerosis risk;ranging from 0 to 100 : low risk; 100 to 400 : intermediate risk and > 400 : high risk of coronary atherosclerosis.
- Shear wave liver elastography [At inclusion]
Hepatic elasticity assessed in kPa : <5 Kpa : normal; 5 to 8 kPa : low to moderate fibrosis ; > 8 kPa : advanced fibrosis; >15 kPa : cirrhosis
Secondary Outcome Measures
- ARFI Hepatic elasticity [At inclusion]
Hepatic elasticity assessed by Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) (in kPa) Hepatic elasticity assessed in kPa : <5 Kpa : normal; 5 to 8 kPa : low to moderate fibrosis ; > 8 kPa : advanced fibrosis; >15 kPa : cirrhosis .
- Cardiovascular risk [At inclusion]
Systemic Coronary Risk Estimation (SCORE) ranging from <1% very low risk to >15% very high risk of cardiovascular mortality
- Coronary heart disease [3 month]
Diagnosis of coronary heart disease
