摘要

Purpose of Review

In recent years, the terms “metabolic associated fatty liver disease-MAFLD” and “metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease-MASLD” were introduced to improve the encapsulation of metabolic dysregulation in this patient population, as well as to avoid the negative/stigmatizing terms “non-alcoholic” and “fatty”.

Recent Findings

There is evidence suggesting links between MASLD and coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure (HF), atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), although the data for HF, AF, stroke and PAD are scarcer.

Summary

Physicians should consider the associations between MASLD and CV diseases in their daily practice. Based on this knowledge and current guidelines, they should also assess and manage CV risk/co-morbidities in such patients. It is important to further investigate the impact of MASLD on CV outcomes, a knowledge that will help to elucidate the clinical implications of this “novel” liver entity.
