Abstract

AIMS: A strong association between fatty liver disease (FLD) and coronary artery disease is consistently reported. Our aim was to evaluate whether FLD diagnosed using low-dose non-contrast computed tomography (LDCT), as a by-product of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), is associated with myocardial ischaemia or left ventricular function parameters.
