What Causes Fatty Liver With A Heart Rate Of 52?
Recently diagnosed with a "fatty liver". I run 3 miles a day and also lift weights. I am 41, 6'3" and weigh 200lbs. All my liver enzymes have tested fine and I have no other health problems. My chloresterol is also not an issue at all. Heart rate is 52.
I don't smoke at all. I do drink more than most people (musician)and my diet is not the best. One doc (urologist) says just eat a little better and drink a little less but the nurse practitioner says stop drinking or you may die.

Hello,
Fallty liver with normal liver enzymes is not a cause for worry. The heart rate of 52 is not a related to the fatty liver.
I would suggest cut down on alcohol to not more than two drinks per day. Even less if possible. Fatty liver might progress to liver damage with on going alcohol intake.
But the odds of that happening are low.
So my advise would be to cut down on alcohol, exercise and eat healthy
Hope this helps
