Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Its Links with Inflammation and Atherosclerosis.

Purpose Of Review: We summarize best data of the association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Recent Findings: NAFLD has been linked with insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, conditions known to be associated with CVD and subclinical atherosclerosis. The rising evidence of the association between NAFLD and subclinical CVD may suggest that NAFLD is not only a marker but also may be actively involved in pathogenesis of CVD.
