Pais R, et al. - This study was carried out to evaluate the association between steatosis, atherosclerosis site, multiple-site atherosclerosis, coronary artery calcification, and 10-year Framingham Risk Score in 2,554 subjects with > 1 cardiovascular risk factor (CVRF), free of cardiovascular events and of other chronic liver diseases and drinking < 50g alcohol/day. Researchers found that carotid and coronary, but not femoral atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular mortality risk were related to steatosis. Results of this study suggested that the multiple-site involvement and quantitative tonic connection could strengthen the prediction of cardiovascular mortality or events over classical CVRF or imaging-based detection of atherosclerosis.
