Why the study?
Does the fatty liver index (FLI) correlate with NAFLD and newly diagnosed CAD in Chinese patients undergoing coronary angiography?
Population
713 Chinese patients who underwent coronary angiography. A subset of 574 underwent B-ultrasonography.
Design
Cross-sectional

FLI should not inform CAD evaluation in angiography patients; leaves open prospective validation for incident events in broader cohorts.
Does the fatty liver index (FLI) correlate with NAFLD and newly diagnosed CAD in Chinese patients undergoing coronary angiography?

Jiang et al. (2013) studied this question.
