PINEIRO LAMAS, Regino  e  FERNANDEZ-BRITO RODRIGUEZ, José Emilio. Non-alcoholic fatty liver as a sign of atherosclerosis. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.1, pp.1-7. ISSN 0864-0300.

Patients with non alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) present an increase in mortality duo to atherosclerotic coronary disease, being this, the second most common cause of death in patients with (NAFLD). In general, the intima-media thickening, which constitutes an evidence of subclinical atherosclerosis, is higher in patients with NAFLD than in healthy people. The individuals with NAFLD are at risk of suffering from carotid atherosclerosis independently of both the presence of Metabolic Syndrome and classical factors of atherosclerotic coronary risk. That's why the detection of NAFLD should alert us to the existence of an increase in the risk of suffering from atherosclerotic disease.

Palavras-chave : Non alcoholic fatty liver; atherosclerosis.
