摘      要：Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as the most commonchronic liver cell damage worldwide. It is strongly associated with an increasedrisk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). There are not enough recommendations forscreening subjects with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis, who are notcandidates for liver transplantation, nor who are asymptomatic with NAFLDwithout cirrhosis. In the current comprehensive narrative review, we aimed toevaluate the associations between CVD and NAFLD. Distinguishing themechanisms linking these two disorders offers the opportunity to developtargeted therapies. Moreover, we will discuss screening approaches (whom andhow-to) and treatment modalities proposed to reduce cardiovascular risk inpatients with NAFLD.
