Cardiovascular Risk and MASLD – Integrating Lipid Management with Novel Agents
Pablo Corral, Past President of Argentine Lipid Society, has shared a post on X:
“Understanding MASLD, from molecular pathogenesis to cardiovascular risk.
A concise review for the clinical cardiologist.
MASLD not only drives liver injury but also worsens lipid metabolism, fueling atherogenic dyslipidemia. Increased VLDL, small dense LDL, dysfunctional HDL.
The review in ATH journal highlights that.
•Statins are both safe and effective in MASLD, yet underprescribed.
•Ezetimibe and pemafibrate may improve lipid profile and hepatic parameters.
•GLP-1RAs and SGLT2i show dual benefit on liver fat, cardiometabolic risk, and CVD outcomes.
•Emerging agents (resmetirom, lanifibranor) target both hepatic fibrosis and lipid metabolism.
Lipid-lowering therapy remains central in MASLD management, but must be integrated with newer agents for optimal cardio-hepatic protection .”
