Liver fat and heart artery narrowing study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the amount of fat in your liver, seen on an ultrasound, is linked to the severity of narrowing in your heart arteries. If you had a heart catheterization (angiography) and an abdominal ultrasound, your data may help researchers understand this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had a coronary angiography (a special X-ray of your heart arteries) at our hospital between August 2022 and December 2023 because of chest pain, chest tightness, or similar reasons.
- You have not had a coronary stent placed in the past.
- You had an abdominal ultrasound (a belly scan) as part of your care.
- You do not have congenital heart disease, cancer, thyroid disease, or an active infection.
- Your medical records are complete.

This study is looking at how common a certain type of fatty liver disease is in people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina. If you've recently had a heart event and a coronary angiogram, the study will check your liver health to see if there is a link.
This study looks at people with fatty liver disease and common health issues like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or abnormal cholesterol. It may help researchers understand how liver fat and heart/metabolism problems relate and how they affect health over time.
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
This study uses advanced ultrasound imaging and artificial intelligence to assess heart health in people with fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver). The goal is to better manage heart disease risk in these patients.
This study follows people who already have a heart artery imaging test to understand what the imaging means for future heart outcomes. It may help doctors predict prognosis and guide treatment for coronary narrowing.
This study looks at how fat around your organs (visceral fat) might affect your heart and metabolism. You'll have extra blood tests and a liver scan to check for early signs of disease.
