422-P: Association between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Diastolic Myocardial Dysfunction and Myocardial Insulin Resistance in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is highly prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes and associated with cardiovascular risks. We investigated whether degree of NAFLD was associated with myocardial dysfunction in relation to myocardial glucose uptake in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 131 patients with type 2 diabetes were included from a tertiary care hospital. Myocardial glucose uptake was assessed using [18F]-FDG-PET scan....
