The Positron Emission Tomography in Early Diagnostics of the Metabolic Myocardial Disorders in Insulin-Resistant Patients With Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Abstract:Recent studies demonstrated the Hepato-cardiac relationship in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as subclinical, structural, and functional alterations in the heart. However, the mechanisms underlying the changes in the cardiovascular system are understudied and not clear. The aim of the study was to assess glucose metabolism, its perfusion in the cardiomyocytes and the detection of the myocardial dysfunction in patients with fatty liver disease and insulin resistance using the positron emission … Show more
