Researchers want to understand whether fatty liver disease — a condition where fat builds up in the liver — is connected to how severe someone's heart artery disease might be. The study looks at patients who have already had a heart imaging procedure called coronary angiography, comparing ultrasound measurements of their liver to the severity of their heart disease.
Doctors have noticed that fatty liver disease and heart disease often occur together in the same patients, but they don't fully understand how closely these two conditions are linked or whether one makes the other worse. This research could help doctors predict how severe someone's heart disease might be by looking at their liver health.

If you qualify, researchers will collect information from your medical records and the heart imaging and abdominal ultrasound scans you've already had done. There are no additional procedures or visits required — the study uses existing imaging and clinical data from your hospital care between August 2022 and December 2023. Your information will be analyzed to see if there is a connection between fatty liver findings on ultrasound and the severity of your heart disease.
