Abstract

This review focuses on the rapidly expanding body of clinical evidence that supports a strong association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Recognition of the importance of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and its strong association with the metabolic syndrome stimulated interest in its putative role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease.

Keywords

nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cardiovascular disease.
