Abstract

[...]the presence of metabolic risk factors and related therapeutic drugs cannot be completely excluded in NAFLD patients, and they may have been non-significant due to the insufficient statistical power arising from the limited sample size in the risk factor analysis. The potential causal effect of NAFLD on ischemic stroke might be confined to the large artery arteriosclerosis and small vessel occlusion subtypes rather than cardioembolic stroke subtypes, which prompts the heterogeneity of the association [17]. [...]the REGARDS Study declared that advanced liver fibrosis might be associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke in women, but not in men, suggesting the existence of gender difference [18]. [...]magnetic resonance imaging and liver biopsy may serve as more accurate modalities for the diagnosis of NAFLD and the assessment of its severity. [...]the identification of NAFLD is an important aspect of stroke prevention and treatment, and requires increased awareness among clinicians. Since NAFLD patients are at high risk for ASCVD morbidity and mortality, they should undergo regular check-ups of cardiometabolic risk factors and CIMT measurement, and
