Cardiovascular disease risk in paediatric and young adult non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Conclusion Compared with matched population controls, children and young adults with biopsy-proven NAFLD had significantly higher rates of incident MACE, including ischaemic heart disease and congestive heart failure. Research to better characterise cardiovascular risk in children and young adults with NAFLD should be prioritised.

Optimising the management of cardiovascular comorbidities in NAFLD patients: its time to (re-) act!
With great interest, we have read the recent article by Simon et al,1 reporting a significant association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and incident major adverse cardiovascular events. The authors found that patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD had a significantly higher incidence of ischaemic heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and death due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), when compared with matched controls. An excess in CVD morbidity and mortality was evident across all stages of NAFLD and increased with worsening disease severity. The authors are to be congratulated for conducting such a ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and incident major adverse cardiovascular events: results from a nationwide histology cohort
Conclusion Compared with matched population controls, patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD had significantly higher incidence of MACE, including IHD, stroke, CHF and CV mortality. Excess risk was evident across all stages of NAFLD and increased with worsening disease severity.
