Discussion

Observational study showed 86% of type II diabetes patients had NAFLD, suggesting urgent need for cardiovascular checks.

The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was found to be 86% in newly diagnosed type II diabetic patients.
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was present in 51.4% of these patients, with a significant association to fatty liver.
This observational, cross-sectional study included 208 patients assessed with echocardiography and ultrasound.
Early screening for NAFLD and LVDD could help mitigate cardiovascular risks linked with type II diabetes.

Kaushal et al. (2025) studied this question.
