Introduction: metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a condition with high prevalence and morbimortality, considered a public health problem, which not only affects individual health and family economy, but has also had a great impact on the costs of health care systems worldwide.
Objective: to describe the update of the pharmacological approach to steatotic disease associated with metabolic dysfunction.
Results: MASLD is closely linked to cardiovascular diseases, which highlights the importance of holistic approaches and prevention strategies adapted to different populations. In addition, progress is being made in the treatment of MASLD, exploring hypoglycemic drugs and agents such as GLP-1 to reduce hepatic fat accumulation.
Conclusions: MASLD is closely related to CVD, representing an independent risk. Its increasing prevalence demands a holistic approach that includes awareness, early detection, risk stratification, multidisciplinary treatment, and research collaboration.
