Abstract
⺠Fatty liver and abdominal visceral fat (VAT) are metabolically connected. ⺠We examine whether fatty liver is a risk factor for coronary calcification. ⺠We have found that fatty liver is associated with coronary calcification in African Americans. ⺠This association is independent of abdominal VAT or body mass index.
