Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Coronary artery disease are 8 times more prevalent in patients with NAFLD then the general population and are being considered the most common cause of death. Cardiac CT is a reliable non invasive method in demonstrating Coronary Plaques. However the association between coronary artery calcium score (CAC) and NAFLD remains controversial

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Coronary artery disease are 8 times more prevalent in patients with NAFLD that the general population and are being considered the most common cause of death. Cardiac CT is a reliable non invasive method in demonstrating Coronary Plaques. However the association between coronary artery calcium score (CAC) and NAFLD remains controversial. AIM: the aim is to evaluate the association between CAC score ( CT) and NAFLD (CT). the working hypothesis is that Beside the traditional risk factors including age, diabetes, NAFLD is also associated with moderate to high risk of CAD.
