Abstract: In recent years, the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has increased rapidly, paralleling the epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD). It has been demonstrated that NAFLD is strongly associated with atherosclerosis [1]. With recently gained knowledge, it now appears that NAFLD might induce insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and fluctuation of the adipokines associated with atherosclerosis [1]. The association between NAFLD and atheromatosis in obese patients with or without T2DM has been controversial. It could be that liver disease participates in the origin of atheromatous plaques.
