Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), poses a significant global health challenge due to its increasing prevalence and strong association with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This comprehensive review summarizes the current knowledge on the MASLD-CVD relationship, compares analysis of how different terminologies for fatty liver disease affect cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment using different diagnostic criteria, explores the pathophysiological mechanisms connecting MASLD to CVD, the influence of MASLD on traditional CV risk factors, the role of noninvasive imaging techniques and biomarkers in the assessment of CV risk in…
