TLDR
There is evidence to support the association of NAFLD with subclinical atherosclerosis independent of traditional risk factors and metabolic syndrome, however, there is need for future longitudinal studies to review this association to ascertain causality and include other ethnic populations.

EASL-EASD-EASO Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

TL;DR: The final purpose is to improve patient care and awareness of the importance of NAFLD, and to assist stakeholders in the decision-making process by providing evidence-based data, which also takes into consideration the burden of clinical management for the healthcare system.
Journal ArticleDOI

NAFLD: A multisystem disease

TL;DR: A narrative review focuses on the rapidly expanding body of clinical evidence that supports the concept of NAFLD as a multisystem disease and the factors linkingNAFLD with other extra-hepatic chronic diseases, such as T2DM, CVD, cardiac diseases and CKD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and risk of incident cardiovascular disease: A meta-analysis

TL;DR: Clinicians who manage patients with NAFLD should not focus only on liver disease but should also consider the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and undertake early, aggressive risk factor modification.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its relationship with cardiovascular disease and other extrahepatic diseases.

TL;DR: Improvement/resolution of NAFLD is associated with a reduced incidence of T2DM and improved kidney function, adding weight to causality and suggesting liver focused treatments may reduce risk of extrahepatic complications.

The metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: The pathophysiology seems to be largely attributable to insulin resistance with excessive flux of fatty acids implicated, and a proinflammatory state probably contributes to the metabolic syndrome.

Prevalence of hepatic steatosis in an urban population in the United States: Impact of ethnicity

TL;DR: The prevalence of hepatic steatosis was greater in men than women among whites, but not in blacks or Hispanics, and significant ethnic and sex differences in the prevalence may have a profound impact on susceptibility to Steatosis‐related liver disease.

Prediction of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality with arterial stiffness: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Aortic stiffness expressed as aortic PWV is a strong predictor of future CV events and all-cause mortality and the predictive ability of arterial stiffness is higher in subjects with a higher baseline CV risk.

Comparison of C-Reactive Protein and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in the Prediction of First Cardiovascular Events

TL;DR: The data suggest that the C-reactive protein level is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than the LDL cholesterol level and that it adds prognostic information to that conveyed by the Framingham risk score.
