Interaction between the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score and vitamin D deficiency on left ventricular hypertrophy and impaired diastolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Analysis reveals interaction between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score and vitamin D deficiency affecting left ventricular hypertrophy in type 2 diabetes.
Key Points
Higher rates of left ventricular hypertrophy occur in patients with high NFS scores, compared to lower scores.
Significant interaction found between vitamin D deficiency and NFS on left ventricular mass index and diastolic function.
Echocardiography measures showed impaired diastolic function linked to higher NFS and vitamin D deficiency levels.
These findings suggest that addressing vitamin D deficiency could impact cardiac function in diabetes patients with liver disease.
