NAFLD is a multisystem disease where systemic insulin resistance and related metabolic dysfunction play a pathogenic role in the development of NAFLD and its most relevant liver-related morbidities (cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma) and extrahepatic complications, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and certain types of extrahepatic cancers. In 2023, three large multinational liver associations proposed that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) should replace the term NAFLD; the name chosen to replace non-alcoholic steatohepatitis was metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests an excellent concordance rate between NAFLD and MASLD definitions—that is, ~99% of individuals with NAFLD meet MASLD criteria. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the literature on (a) the recent epidemiological data on MASLD and the risk of developing CVD and malignant complications, (b) the underlying mechanisms by which MASLD (and factors strongly linked with MASLD) may increase the risk of these extrahepatic complications and (c) the diagnosis and assessment of CVD risk and potential treatments to reduce CVD risk in people with MASLD or MASH." /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Giovanni Targher" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Christopher D Byrne" /> <meta name="DC.Contributor" content="Herbert Tilg" /> <meta name="article:published_time" content="2024-04-01" /> <meta name="article:section" content="Recent advances in clinical practice" /> <meta name="citation_title" content="MASLD: a systemic metabolic disorder with cardiovascular and malignant complications" /> <meta name="citation_abstract" lang="en" content="<p>Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has rapidly become the most common chronic liver disease globally and is currently estimated to affect up to 38% of the global adult population.

NAFLD is a multisystem disease where systemic insulin resistance and related metabolic dysfunction play a pathogenic role in the development of NAFLD and its most relevant liver-related morbidities (cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma) and extrahepatic complications, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and certain types of extrahepatic cancers. In 2023, three large multinational liver associations proposed that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) should replace the term NAFLD; the name chosen to replace non-alcoholic steatohepatitis was metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests an excellent concordance rate between NAFLD and MASLD definitions—that is, ~99% of individuals with NAFLD meet MASLD criteria. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the literature on (a) the recent epidemiological data on MASLD and the risk of developing CVD and malignant complications, (b) the underlying mechanisms by which MASLD (and factors strongly linked with MASLD) may increase the risk of these extrahepatic complications and (c) the diagnosis and assessment of CVD risk and potential treatments to reduce CVD risk in people with MASLD or MASH." /> <meta name="og-title" property="og:title" content="MASLD: a systemic metabolic disorder with cardiovascular and malignant complications" /> <meta name="og-url" property="og:url" content="https://gut.bmj.com/content/73/4/691" /> <meta name="og-site-name" property="og:site_name" content="Gut" /> <meta name="og-description" property="og:description" content="Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has rapidly become the most common chronic liver disease globally and is currently estimated to affect up to 38% of the global adult population.

id="abstract-1"><h2>Abstract</h2><p id="p-1">Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has rapidly become the most common chronic liver disease globally and is currently estimated to affect up to 38% of the global adult population. NAFLD is a multisystem disease where systemic insulin resistance and related metabolic dysfunction play a pathogenic role in the development of NAFLD and its most relevant liver-related morbidities (cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma) and extrahepatic complications, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, and certain types of extrahepatic cancers. In 2023, three large multinational liver associations proposed that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) should replace the term NAFLD; the name chosen to replace non-alcoholic steatohepatitis was metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Emerging epidemiological evidence suggests an excellent concordance rate between NAFLD and MASLD definitions—that is, ~99% of individuals with NAFLD meet MASLD criteria. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the literature on (a) the recent epidemiological data on MASLD and the risk of developing CVD and malignant complications, (b) the underlying mechanisms by which MASLD (and factors strongly linked with MASLD) may increase the risk of these extrahepatic complications and (c) the diagnosis and assessment of CVD risk and potential treatments to reduce CVD risk in people with MASLD or MASH.</p></div><ul class="kwd-group"><li class="kwd">CARDIOVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS</li><li class="kwd">CANCER</li><li class="kwd">LIVER</li><li class="kwd">NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS</li></ul><span class="highwire-journal-article-marker-end"></span></div><span class="related-urls"></span></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-dfp-pane oas-ads oas-ads-mid pull-right" > <div class="pane-content"> <div id="dfp-ad-mpu-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <div id="dfp-ad-mpu" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display("dfp-ad-mpu"); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-custom pane-3" > <div class="pane-content"> <p><a href="https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2023-330595" target="_new">https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2023-330595</a></p> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-highwire-altmetrics" > <h2 class="pane-title">Statistics from Altmetric.com</h2> <div class="pane-content"> <div data-badge-details="right" data-badge-type="medium-donut" data-doi="10.1136/gutjnl-2023-330595" data-hide-no-mentions="true" class="altmetric-embed"></div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-bmjj-jumplinks" > <div class="pane-content"> <div class="highwire-list-wrapper"><div class="highwire-list"><ul></ul></div></div> </div> </div> <div class="panel-separator"></div><div class="panel-pane pane-custom pane-4 permissions-box" > <h2 class="pane-title">Request Permissions</h2> <div class="pane-content"> <p>If you wish to reuse any or all of this article please use the link below which will take you to the Copyright Clearance Center’s RightsLink service.

This risk was independent of common cardiometabolic risk factors and increased progressively with worsening severity of MASLD histology, with the highest incidence rates observed with noncirrhotic fibrosis (adjusted HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.47 to 1.89) and cirrhosis (adjusted HR 2.15, 95% CI 1.77 to 2.61).<a id="xref-ref-14-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-14">14</a> </p><p id="p-6">Many of the published cohort studies were included in an updated meta-analysis that incorporated 36 studies (published until July 2021) with ~5.8 million middle-aged individuals from different countries and captured nearly 100 000 fatal and nonfatal CVD events over a median of 6.9-year follow-up. This meta-analysis concluded that MASLD (diagnosed by liver imaging, International Classification of Diseases codes or liver histology) conferred a pooled HR of 1.45 (95% CI 1.31 to 1.61) for fatal and nonfatal CVD events, a risk that appeared to increase further with more advanced liver disease, especially MASH with higher fibrosis stages (random-effects HR 2.50, 95% CI 1.68 to 3.72) and remained statistically significant in those studies where analysis was adjusted for common cardiometabolic risk factors.<a id="xref-ref-15-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-15">15</a> </p><p id="p-7">After the publication of this comprehensive meta-analysis, these findings have been further supported by other cohort studies. For instance, using a nationwide health screening database of ~8.8 million South Korean adults followed up for a median of 12.3 years, Lee <em>et al</em> reported that MASLD (assessed by fatty liver index ≥30) was independently associated with an increased risk of incident CVD events defined as a composite of myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, heart failure or cardiovascular death (adjusted HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.38 to 1.40).<a id="xref-ref-16-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-16">16</a> In the UK Biobank cohort study involving 330 751 individuals without baseline CVD, Chen <em>et al</em> confirmed that MASLD was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident CVD events over a median of 11.8 years.<a id="xref-ref-17-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-17">17</a> Subsequently, in the UK Biobank imaging substudy (33 616 participants) where liver disease activity (measured by iron-corrected T1 mapping) and liver fat (by proton density fat fraction) were assessed by MRI using LiverMultiScan, Roca-Fernandez <em>et al</em> found that liver disease activity was associated with a higher risk of major CVD events, cardiac hospitalisations and all-cause mortality, independent of pre-existing metabolic syndrome features and liver fat.<a id="xref-ref-18-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-18">18</a> Data from the Rancho Bernardo study (including 1523 elderly participants from the USA followed up for a mean of 15.2 years) confirmed that MASLD was independently associated with a ~35% higher risk of CVD mortality.<a id="xref-ref-19-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-19">19</a> </p><p id="p-8">To date, convincing epidemiological evidence indicates that MASLD promotes not only accelerated coronary atherosclerosis but also affects all other anatomical structures of the heart, conferring an increased risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and hypertrophy, cardiac valvular calcification and arrhythmias (mainly permanent atrial fibrillation).<a id="xref-ref-20-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-20">20–24</a> Furthermore, a recent meta-analysis of 11 longitudinal cohort studies with aggregate data on more than 11 million middle-aged individuals reported that MASLD was associated with a 1.5-fold higher long-term risk of new-onset heart failure (pooled random-effects HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.34 to 1.67), regardless of the presence of hypertension, T2DM and other common cardiometabolic risk factors.<a id="xref-ref-25-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-25">25</a> These findings have been confirmed in two cohorts of ~175 000 outpatients with and without MASLD who were propensity score matched for sex, age, index year and known risk factors for heart failure.<a id="xref-ref-26-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-26">26</a> In this cohort study, the authors found that MASLD was significantly associated with a 10-year higher cumulative incidence of heart failure (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.39), in both men and women and across different age strata.<a id="xref-ref-26-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-26">26</a> </p><p id="p-9">Meta-analyses of the excess of fatal and nonfatal CVD events and other cardiac and arrhythmic complications in people with MASLD are summarised in <a id="xref-table-wrap-1-1" class="xref-table" href="#T1">table 1</a>.

As recently summarised in an elegant systematic review,<a id="xref-ref-27-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-27">27</a> patients with MASLD-related HCC are more likely to be older and have obesity and other metabolic comorbidities compared with patients with HCC due to other causes. In addition, MASLD-related HCC is associated with a higher proportion of patients without cirrhosis and lower surveillance rates than HCC due to other reasons. Overall survival does not differ between patients with MASLD-related HCC and those with HCC due to other causes, but disease-free survival is longer for patients with MASLD-related HCC. These data suggest that HCC surveillance strategies should be developed not only for those with MASLD who have progressed to cirrhosis but also for MASLD patients without cirrhosis who are at high risk of developing HCC.<a id="xref-ref-1-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1 27</a> However, there is currently no consensus regarding HCC surveillance in non-cirrhotic MASLD patients. Future studies are needed to perform MASLD-specific cost-effectiveness analyses for HCC surveillance, principally in those with non-cirrhotic MASH.<a id="xref-ref-28-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-28">28</a> </p><p id="p-14">In a meta-analysis of 64 observational cohort studies (published until August 2020) with 1903 incident cases of HCC (50 eligible studies, n=625 984 participants) and 2288 incident cases of any extrahepatic cancer (18 studies, n=41 027 participants), Thomas <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-29-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-29">29</a> showed that the HCC incidence rate was 1.25 per 1000 person-years. The HCC incidence rate was remarkably higher in patients with MASLD with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis (14.5 per 1000 person-years) than in their counterparts without advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis. In this meta-analysis, the authors reported that the pooled extrahepatic cancer incidence rate was 10.6 per 1000 person-years. The most frequently occurring extrahepatic cancers were uterine cancer (4.27 per 1000 person-years), breast cancer (4.02 per 1000 person-years), prostate cancer (1.44 per 1000 person-years), colorectal cancer (1.43 per 1000 person-years) and lung cancer (1.35 per 1000 person-years). Extrahepatic cancer incidence rates did not appear to be significantly higher in patients with MASLD with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.<a id="xref-ref-29-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-29">29</a> Interestingly, this meta-analysis also showed that extrahepatic cancers were over eightfold more frequent than HCC in people with MASLD. As the global prevalence of MASLD is around 38% and is projected to increase further within the next decade,<a id="xref-ref-1-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1</a> these findings may support the need for early detection of extrahepatic cancers in adults with MASLD, regardless of the coexistence of advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis.</p><p id="p-15">We also recently performed a meta-analysis of observational cohort studies (published until December 2020) to quantify the magnitude of the association between MASLD and the risk of extrahepatic cancers.<a id="xref-ref-30-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-30">30</a> This meta-analysis included 10 cohort studies with 182 202 middle-aged individuals and ~8500 incident cases of extrahepatic cancers at different sites over a median of 5.8 years. We found that MASLD was significantly associated with a ~2.5-fold increased risk of thyroid cancer and a ~1.5–2 fold increased risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers (oesophagus, stomach, pancreas or colorectal cancers). Furthermore, MASLD was significantly associated with a ~1.2 –1.5 fold increased risk of developing lung, breast, gynaecological or urinary system cancers. All risks were independent of age, sex, smoking history, obesity, T2DM or other potential confounding factors (<a id="xref-table-wrap-1-2" class="xref-table" href="#T1">table 1</a>). The overall heterogeneity for most of the primary pooled analyses was low. However, not enough data were available to examine whether extrahepatic cancer incidence rates increased with the severity of liver disease.<a id="xref-ref-30-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-30">30</a> Moreover, these findings have recently been confirmed in a retrospective cohort study from Germany.<a id="xref-ref-31-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-31">31</a> In this study, the investigators identified 86 777 patients with MASLD (defined by International Classification of Diseases codes) and a matched cohort of equal size without MASLD from the Disease Analyzer database (IQVIA), compiling diagnoses and demographic data from general practitioners. During a 10-year follow-up, the investigators reported significantly higher incidence rates of skin cancer, digestive organ cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer and gynaecological cancers among MASLD patients than among those without MASLD.<a id="xref-ref-31-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-31">31</a> </p><p id="p-16">The prognostic importance of extrahepatic cancers in MASLD has also been further supported by mortality data reported by Simon <em>et al</em> in a nationwide cohort of over 10 000 Sweden adult individuals with biopsy-confirmed MASLD and ~50 000 matched controls followed for a median of 14.2 years.<a id="xref-ref-32-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-32">32</a> In this cohort study, the authors found that all MASLD histological stages were associated with significantly increased overall mortality and that the excess mortality related to MASLD was primarily from extrahepatic cancers, followed by cirrhosis, CVD and HCC.<a id="xref-ref-32-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-32">32</a> In a subsequent analysis, the same authors examined the incidence rates of both extrahepatic cancers and HCC in a subset of 8892 individuals with biopsy-proven MASLD followed for a median of 13.8 years.<a id="xref-ref-33-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-33">33</a> They found that compared with the control population, patients with MASLD had increased overall cancer incidence rates (13.8 vs 10.9 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR 1.27, 95% CI 1.18 to 1.36), driven primarily by HCC. Furthermore, MASLD was associated with significantly increased pancreatic, kidney/bladder and melanoma rates.<a id="xref-ref-33-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-33">33</a> </p><p id="p-17">After the publication of the two meta-analyses mentioned above,<a id="xref-ref-29-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-29">29 30</a> other large cohort studies reported that MASLD might be a modifiable risk factor for extrahepatic cancer development (mainly gastrointestinal cancers). For instance, in a nationwide cohort study that included ~5.2 million individuals aged 20–39 years who underwent national health screening under the Korean National Health Insurance Service between 2009 and 2012, Park <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-34-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-34">34</a> reported that MASLD (assessed by fatty liver index ≥30) was associated with an increased risk of overall gastrointestinal cancers (adjusted HR 1.16; 95% CI 1.10 to 1.22), with adjusted HRs ranging from 1.14 to 1.53 for stomach, colorectal, pancreatic, biliary tract or gallbladder cancers, respectively. These associations remained significant even after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, obesity and alcohol consumption.<a id="xref-ref-34-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-34">34</a> In a cohort of 151 391 Chinese adults followed for a median of 12.6 years, the authors reported that MAFLD (assessed by ultrasonography) was associated with an increased risk of prostate (HR 1.49, 95% CI 1.07 to 2.08), thyroid (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.12), kidney (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.00), colorectal (HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.34) and breast cancers (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.66), even after controlling for age, sex, education level, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and family history of cancers.<a id="xref-ref-35-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-35">35</a> Using the Swedish National Patient Registry, Björkström <em>et al</em> <a id="xref-ref-36-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-36">36</a> found that patients with MASLD had an increased risk of developing incident cancer over a median follow-up of 6 years compared with control subjects (9.7 vs 8.6 cases per 1000 person-years; HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.33). The risk for HCC was particularly high (adjusted HR 12.2, 95% CI 7.1 to 20.8). The risk for other extrahepatic cancer subtypes was also significantly increased (colorectal (adjusted HR 1.38), kidney (adjusted HR 2.12), bladder (adjusted HR 2.51) and uterine cancers (adjusted HR 1.78)).<a id="xref-ref-36-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-36">36</a> </p><p id="p-18">Finally, a meta-analysis of eight observational studies (including 56 745 MASLD individuals and 704 incident cases of gastrointestinal cancers) found that patients with lean MASLD had a greater risk of HCC (random-effects HR 1.77, 95% CI 1.15 to 2.73), pancreatic (random-effects HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.01 to 3.86) and colorectal cancers (random-effects HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.09) than non-lean MASLD patients. No significant differences were observed for oesophagus, biliary tract and small intestine cancers.<a id="xref-ref-37-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-37">37</a> These findings emphasise a possible carcinogenic role for MASLD that is independent of obesity, and further highlight the need to explore tailored cancer prevention strategies for this patient population.</p></div><div id="sec-4" class="subsection"><h3>Pathophysiology of MASLD and its relationship with CVD complications</h3><p id="p-19"> <a id="xref-fig-1-1" class="xref-fig" href="#F1">Figure 1</a> schematically summarises the main pathophysiological aspects contributing to CVD and malignant complications in people with MASLD.</p><div id="F1" class="fig pos-float odd"><div class="highwire-figure"><div class="fig-inline-img-wrapper"><div class="fig-inline-img"><a href="https://gut.bmj.com/content/gutjnl/73/4/691/F1.large.jpg?width=800&height=600&carousel=1" title="Pathophysiological aspects contributing to cardiovascular and malignant complications in people with MASLD.

Key pathophysiological components of MASLD include metabolic dysfunction and atherogenic dyslipidaemia.<a id="xref-ref-46-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-46">46</a> These two components may be considered ‘starting points’ for this disease as hepatic insulin resistance characterises most patients with MASLD and is commonly associated with an increased influx of free fatty acids into the liver, which is also aggravated by systemic insulin resistance. In addition, in MASLD there is increased hepatic de novo lipogenesis and a decrease in fatty acid oxidation and very low-density lipoprotein (LDL) export.<a id="xref-ref-47-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-47">47</a> In this context, lipotoxicity reflects an important aspect of MASLD pathogenesis as specific lipids may exert proinflammatory effects and promote the release of several proinflammatory mediators and the accumulation of inflammatory leucocytes within the liver. Diverse lipid species, such as sphingolipids, ceramides, trans fatty acids or free cholesterol, can also induce liver inflammation, including upregulation of multiple proinflammatory cytokines and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-<em>k</em>B).<a id="xref-ref-48-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-48">48 49</a> Additionally, other not yet well-characterised lipids might contribute to lipotoxicity-related inflammation.

Besides LPS, increased circulating levels of various proinflammatory metabolites, such as gut microbiome-derived lactate, ethanol or trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), characterise MASLD.

Both innate and adaptive immunity may contribute to the development of MASLD-related HCC. Preclinical studies strongly support a role for innate immunity and proinflammatory cytokines. Obesity-driven HCC development is dependent on the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor (TNF), as demonstrated in dietary and genetic models of fatty liver disease in mouse models.<a id="xref-ref-82-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-82">82</a> This effect was driven by the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and NF-<em>k</em>B.<a id="xref-ref-83-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-83">83</a> Interestingly, specific liver cancer progenitor cells in the liver may progress towards a malignant phenotype in an IL-6-dependent manner.<a id="xref-ref-84-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-84">84</a> Other proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1 alpha, may promote liver tumourigenesis.<a id="xref-ref-85-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-85">85</a> Various additional pathways drive inflammation-related HCC, such as ER stress,<a id="xref-ref-86-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-86">86</a> a pathway that is also activated in human MASLD.

Such autoaggressive CD8<sup>+</sup> PD1<sup>+</sup> T cells accumulate especially in MASH patients, and this cell type has been linked to a lack of immune surveillance in mice and human studies.<a id="xref-ref-90-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-90">90 91</a> Such a micromilieu might favour liver carcinogenesis, explaining why HCC evolves even in a non-cirrhotic liver. It remains unclear how metabolic signals interfere with this type of immunity.

Although, as mentioned above, MASLD is an independent risk factor for CVD, and the severity of liver disease further amplifies that risk of CVD events, existing algorithms and risk calculators do not, to date, consider MASLD as a CVD risk factor in the estimation of an individual’s level of CVD risk using available risk calculators. Since liver fibrosis markedly increases the risk of adverse CVD outcomes, it might be expected that liver fibrosis would further improve CVD risk prediction in people with MASLD. However, to date, this issue remains unresolved, and CVD risk calculators do not consider any of the individual measures of liver disease in MASLD. Nevertheless, CVD risk assessment in all patients with MASLD is clinically mandatory to inform appropriate management and treatment decisions focused on attenuating CVD risk.<a id="xref-ref-103-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> Patients with MASLD represent a heterogeneous group of individuals concerning their CVD risk, and with the considerable treatment options now available, clinicians need to make personalised treatment decisions since not all patients with MASLD have the same cluster of CVD risk factors nor the same absolute risk of CVD events.</p><div id="sec-9" class="subsection"><h4>CVD risk assessment in MASLD</h4><p id="p-29">The first consideration is how CVD risk should be assessed in patients with MASLD? Most patients with MASLD are likely to be middle-aged, and although there are exceptions, women with MASLD are most likely to be perimenopausal or postmenopausal. Because of the age demographic of patients with MASLD, this patient group should be considered for a CVD health check as most patients will be >40 years old. It is also important to consider ethnicity and the region of the globe in which the person’s risk of CVD is being assessed.</p><p id="p-30">Beyond the presence of MASLD, various factors increase a person’s risk of developing CVD. These risk factors can be divided into non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors. Briefly, CVD risk factors are: (a) non-modifiable, for example, older age, male sex, having a strong family history of premature CVD and being of a certain ethnicity (such as South Asian ethnicity) or having early menopause (<40 years) and (b) modifiable, for example, smoking, having an increased plasma LDL-C concentration, being sedentary, eating an unhealthy diet and having factors linked with obesity and specifically abdominal obesity, such as hypertension, insulin resistance, atherogenic dyslipidaemia and T2DM as key features of metabolic syndrome.<a id="xref-ref-104-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-104">104</a> </p><p id="p-31">With many of these modifiable CVD risk factors (eg, T2DM, hypertension and obesity), there is a further amplification of CVD risk when associated comorbidities such as CKD also occur. For example, T2DM is a strong risk factor for CKD stage ≥3 (defined by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<60 mL/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> with/without coexisting abnormal albuminuria or overt proteinuria), and each of these associated renal factors, as well as chronic dialysis or renal transplantation, are strong independent risk factors for CVD.</p><p id="p-32">Although increased plasma LDL-C concentration is a common risk factor in middle-aged subjects (and occurs independently of MASLD), an increased plasma LDL-C concentration will further increase the risk of CVD in people with MASLD.<a id="xref-ref-15-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-15">15</a> A more common dyslipidaemia frequently occurring with MASLD is the atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype, comprising increased small-dense LDL particles, low HDL-cholesterol and high triglyceride concentrations. Although subjects with MASLD with atherogenic dyslipidaemia may have normal plasma LDL-C concentrations, it is in this situation that treatment with a statin will decrease CVD risk.</p><p id="p-33">While these modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors and associated comorbidities must be considered in assessing CVD risk, it is also important to recognise that some people with MASLD may have other unrelated but relatively common comorbid conditions (unrelated to MASLD) that may also increase the CVD risk. These comorbid conditions that need to be considered and recognised as important additional CVD risk factors include rheumatoid arthritis, severe mental ill health and associated treatments, and periodontal disease.</p><p id="p-34">For assessing global CVD risk, some countries/regions/organisations now recommend vascular health checks or risk assessments targeted at individuals of a certain age and who do not have pre-existing CVD, T2DM or CKD as recognised easily identifiable risk factors for CVD. For example, the ACC/AHA (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association) guidelines and in England and Wales, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend that everyone between the ages of 40 and 75 years should be invited for a health check.<a id="xref-ref-105-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-105">105 106</a> This health check includes a CVD risk assessment, evaluation of alcohol consumption, physical activity levels, plasma LDL-C level, body mass index and screening for T2DM and CKD with an assessment of haemoglobin A1c and eGFR. Additionally, it is important to assess psychological stressors and health literacy and provide appropriate support where necessary.<a id="xref-ref-103-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> The CVD risk assessment tools should be specific to the region/country of interest, and in England and Wales, it is recommended that the QRISK CVD risk calculator is used, as this has been validated in the UK. In the USA, pooled cohort equations are recommended for CVD risk assessment.<a id="xref-ref-103-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) recommends using sex-specific SCORE-2 calculators in European populations. For example, the ESC recommends the use of the SCORE-2 risk calculator up to the age of 70 years; for older persons (OP) above this age, the SCORE-2 OP calculator, and for people with T2DM, the SCORE-2 Diabetes calculator.<a id="xref-ref-107-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-107">107–109</a> The SCORE-2 Diabetes calculator was validated in people with T2DM without pre-existing CVD. Sex-specific competing risk-adjusted models were used, including both traditional CVD risk factors (age, smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels) and diabetes-related variables (age at diabetes diagnosis, haemoglobin A1c and eGFR). These models were recalibrated to CVD incidence in four European risk regions.<a id="xref-ref-108-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-108">108</a> </p><p id="p-35">It is recommended that global CVD risk is assessed every ~5 years,<a id="xref-ref-103-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103 106</a> and it is important to bear in mind that ageing is the major unmodifiable risk factor that powerfully influences the estimate of the risk of a CVD event over the next 10 years. The 2019 ACC/AHA guideline on the primary prevention of CVD<a id="xref-ref-103-5" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> contains appropriate guidance that should be used for people with MASLD, bearing in mind all of the other CVD risk factors linked (and not linked) to MASLD considered above. In the ACC/AHA guideline, it is recommended that adults who are 40–75 years of age and are being evaluated for CVD prevention should undergo a 10-year CVD risk estimation and have a clinician–patient risk discussion before starting on pharmacological therapy, such as antihypertensive therapy, a statin or aspirin (aspirin should be used infrequently in the routine primary prevention of CVD because of lack of net benefit).<a id="xref-ref-103-6" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> For younger individuals, for example, 20–39 years of age, it is reasonable to assess common CVD risk factors every ~5 years.<a id="xref-ref-103-7" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> </p><p id="p-36">Statin therapy is the first-line treatment for primary prevention of CVD in people considered to be at increased risk. There is still uncertainty about the level of risk at which healthcare practitioners should advocate intervention with statin treatment. In the USA, it is considered good practice to recommend statin treatment in individuals at ‘intermediate risk’ (ie, ≥7.5% 10-year estimated CVD risk),<a id="xref-ref-103-8" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> whereas in the UK a ≥10% threshold for intervention is advocated.<a id="xref-ref-106-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-106">106</a> With the lower threshold of CVD risk, it is important to realise that virtually every 60-year-old man would be treated with a statin based on their age alone, regardless of CVD risk factors. In certain individuals with other risk-enhancing factors or in persons at intermediate CVD risk who are not keen to start statin treatment, high-resolution CT scanning of the coronary arteries to detect coronary artery calcium has a place in helping refine decision-making regarding reassurance, advice that treatment is recommended or advice that referral to Cardiology specialists is needed for consideration of further diagnostic cardiac tests.<a id="xref-ref-105-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-105">105</a> In such subjects, assessment of coronary artery calcium with high-resolution CT of the coronary arteries to assess the presence, quantity and location of coronary artery calcium is a valuable investigation to assist in refining risk prediction either upwards or downwards, as part of the process of helping shared decisions between patients and healthcare professionals. For example, if the coronary artery calcium score is ≥100 Agatston units (or ≥75 th age/sex/race percentile), a subject might be moved upward, and if the coronary artery calcium score is 0, a subject can be reassured.<a id="xref-ref-103-9" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> For younger adults, an estimation of lifetime CVD risk in the 20–59 years age group may also be considered. Additionally, non-pharmacological interventions are recommended for all adults with elevated blood pressure or hypertension, and for those requiring pharmacological therapy, the target blood pressure should generally be <130/80 mm Hg.<a id="xref-ref-103-10" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-103">103</a> </p></div><div id="sec-10" class="subsection"><h4>Lifestyle changes and drug treatments for CVD prevention in MASLD</h4><p id="p-37">Healthcare professionals should advocate the cessation of smoking and the consumption of a healthy diet that encourages vegetables, fruits, nuts and minimally processed whole grains. Vegetables, lean animal or fish proteins will reduce the consumption of trans fats and red meats, processed meats, refined carbohydrates, sucrose, fructose and sweetened drinks should be limited.<a id="xref-ref-105-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-105">105</a> For most individuals with MASLD who are overweight or obese, the benefits of calorie restriction to decrease body fat, reduce liver fat and inflammation, and improve the associated metabolic syndrome features should be emphasised. There remains debate about whether small amounts of daily alcohol consumption are harmful or beneficial. That said, mild-moderate alcohol intake and metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent in the population and can frequently coexist. The few available prospective studies have indicated that mild-moderate alcohol intake is associated with an increased risk of liver-related outcomes.<a id="xref-ref-110-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-110">110</a> Systems biology analyses have suggested that alcohol intake and metabolic syndrome may potentiate the effects of each other, affecting common pathways in fatty liver disease to worsen liver-related outcomes.<a id="xref-ref-110-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-110">110</a> Consequently, regardless of any impact of modest alcohol intake on the risk of CVD in MASLD, for benefitting liver health, it would seem prudent to advocate alcohol abstinence for patients with MASLD. Patients should also be encouraged to undertake ≥150 min of moderately intense or 75 min of vigorous physical activity per week.<a id="xref-ref-105-4" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-105">105</a> When considering the effects of lifestyle advice to specifically treat obesity and reduce CVD risk in patients with MASLD, it is important to consider that weight loss is best achieved with calorie restriction. For example, it has been shown that marked calorie restriction induces T2DM remission in overweight or obese people recently diagnosed with T2DM.<a id="xref-ref-111-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-111">111</a> In this open-label, cluster-randomised, controlled trial (DiRECT trial), participants randomly assigned to an integrated structured, intense, weight-management programme (intervention) reached a significantly greater weight reduction ≥15 kg and remission of T2DM at 2 years compared with those assigned to the best-practice care in accordance with guidelines (control).<a id="xref-ref-111-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-111">111</a> Thus, a structured calorie restriction programme focused on weight loss induces T2DM remission over 2 years, although in this trial, it was uncertain how many patients also had MASLD. Losing body fat is very important for decreasing plasma glucose levels, ameliorating MASH and improving metabolic syndrome features but, to date, in MASLD it is uncertain whether these benefits can be sustained, not least if people relapse and regain body fat. It is also uncertain whether the improvement in cardiometabolic risk factors caused by calorie restriction and weight loss, translates into longer-term benefits on CVD events.</p><p id="p-38">When considering potential drug treatments that may benefit MASLD and CVD, it is important to consider drug actions that are beneficial for treating cardiometabolic risk factors and that are at least neutral or may benefit liver disease in MASLD. Ideally, a treatment for improving CVD risk factors in MASLD would also attenuate hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis. Many of the risk factors for CVD (that also characterise a diagnosis of MASLD), such as the features of metabolic syndrome, are also strong risk factors for comorbidities such as T2DM, hypertension and CKD associated with MASLD as a “multisystem disease”. These cardiometabolic risk factors include increased blood pressure, atherogenic dyslipidaemia, dysglycaemia and abdominal obesity.</p><p id="p-39">The presence of T2DM further increases the risk of both macrovascular disease and microvascular disease, both of which may increase the risk of CKD, and when CKD or microalbuminuria/proteinuria occurs, these renal abnormalities will further increase the risk of CVD. Since chronic hyperglycaemia that happens with T2DM is also a significant risk factor for microvascular disease, it is, therefore, essential to treat hyperglycaemia with glucose-lowering agents to attenuate the risk of microvascular disease to reduce the risk of end-organ disease in the kidneys that will further affect the risk of CVD. Although it should be noted that there is no randomised placebo-controlled trial evidence specifically testing the effect of drugs on CVD outcomes in people with MASLD, we have considered the available evidence from cardiovascular endpoint trials and then extrapolated that evidence to people with MASLD. In doing this, we have considered the benefits, harms and licensed indications of drugs and whether these drugs may have a place in attenuating CVD risk in MASLD.

MASLD is a “multisystem disease” where insulin resistance and related metabolic dysfunction play a pathogenic role in the development of MASLD and its most relevant liver-related morbidities and extrahepatic complications (such as CVD, T2DM, CKD and certain extrahepatic cancers). Since MASLD is an independent risk factor for CVD morbidity and mortality and most patients die from the consequences of CVD rather than from liver-related complications, it is important to try and attenuate that risk of CVD. Patients with MASLD have a heterogeneous cluster of CVD risk factors, and the absolute risk of CVD events varies considerably according to age, sex, ethnicity, region and individual risk factors. Consequently, it is essential to assess CVD risk in subjects with MASLD using region-specific CVD risk calculators. Statins are usually safe in people with MASLD and should be advocated where the 10-year estimated CVD risk of a vascular event is ≥10% (or ≥7.5% as recommended in the USA). Beyond supporting lifestyle improvements, many licensed treatments for T2DM, for example, GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors or pioglitazone, have now been shown to reduce the risk of adverse CVD outcomes and improve coexisting risk factors. These and other well-established drug treatments that have also been shown to be beneficial for attenuating CVD risk (eg, RAS inhibitors) should be considered in individual patients with MASLD as part of a holistic approach to reducing CVD risk in this patient population.</p></div><div class="section ethics-statement" id="sec-12"><h2 class="">Ethics statements</h2><div class="section"
