Association between liver fibrosis severity and impaired myocardial glucose metabolism in subjects with different degrees of glucose tolerance
Introduction Increasing evidence suggests that liver fibrosis is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, the mechanisms underlying this increased risk are still unsettled. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between myocardial glucose metabolism and the severity of liver fibrosis. Research design and methods We evaluated insulin-stimulated myocardial glucose metabolic […]
