The relationship between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and myocardial function seems to be more than just the effect of mutual metabolic risk factors. To determine whether there is a significant association between NAFLD assessed by means of liver biopsy and left ventricular function expressed by the estimated ejection fraction among individuals with obesity. This is a cross-sectional study which enrolled individuals who...
