Background:The most prevalent type of chronic liver damage is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is becoming more and more common globally. The present study was conducted to assess fatty liver disease and cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetic patients using USG. Materials & Methods:110 patients of type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease of both genders were enrolled and the history of duration of diabetes was recorded. All underwent ECG and ultrasonographic evaluation. Results: Out of 110 patients, males were 70 and females were 40. The age group <40 years had 24 fatty liver and 4 non- fatty liver patients. Age group 40-50 years had 32 fatty liver and 6 non- fatty liver patients and >50 years had 36 fatty liver and 8 non- fatty liver disease patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Ischemia was present in 6 and absent in 12 in patients with <5 years of diabetes, present in 11 in patients and absent in 28 with 5-10 years of diabetes and present in 13 patients and absent in 40 patients with >10 years of diabetes. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).LVDD was absent in 12 and present in 98 patients. Grade 1 was seen in 34, grade 2 in 48 and grade 3 in 16 patients. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus showed a correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Hence, there is a need to assess these patients in carefully.
