Effect of non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease on left ventricular diastolic function and geometry in the Korean general population
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIM: Previous studies showed that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) could be related to subclinical left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and remodeling. However, this association is still equivocal in the general population. Thus, this study was carried out to examine whether NAFLD is associated with the risk for LV diastolic dysfunction and remodeling. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out for 20 821 Korean men and women who received a health checkup including echocardiography from 2011 to 2012. The study population was divided into three groups of normal, mild and moderate-to-severe NAFLD detected by ultrasonography. Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, the odd ratios of abnormal LV relaxation and remodeling were analyzed according to the degree of NAFLD. Additionally, adjusted mean values of LV diastolic functional and structural parameters were evaluated in the three groups. RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, the mild and moderate-to-severe NAFLD groups had higher odd ratios for abnormal LV relaxation (mild group 1.29, 95% confidence interval 1.15-1.46; moderate-to-severe group 1.95, 95% confidence interval 1.61-2.35) and increased relative wall thickness (>0.42; mild group 1.26, 95% confidence interval 1.05-1.52; moderate-to-severe group 1.46, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.95). Analyzing adjusted mean values of LV parameters also showed the significant association between the degree of NAFLD and impaired LV diastolic function and concentric LV remodeling. CONCLUSIONS: The risk for LV diastolic dysfunction and remodeling proportionally increased according to the degree of NAFLD. NAFLD is significantly associated with LV functional and structural alteration.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
