Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting over 30% of the world's population and increasing rapidly with obesity and diabetes.
Cardiometabolic diseases are an essential component of the diagnosis of MASLD, and at the same time, adverse cardiovascular events represent the most common cause of death in patients with MASLD. There is growing evidence that uncontrolled and inadequately managed cardiometabolic comorbidities such as diabetes or hypertension accelerate disease progression in MASLD patients and increase the risk of cardiovascular events. It is, therefore, essential to detect cardiometabolic comorbidities in patients with MALSD at an early stage and manage them adequately to reduce the cardiovascular risk to the patients affected.
This requires comprehensive screening and management programs, as well as detailed knowledge of the underlying pathomechanisms, to establish effective therapeutic measures.
This Special Issue will highlight the link between MASLD and cardiovascular disease address the importance of the early implementation of preventive strategies to hamper disease progression and establish the most effective treatment.
We invite researchers to submit all types of papers, including original, narrative, and systematic reviews, to this Special Issue to widen our knowledge of this topic
