چکیده    Chronic hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a systemic disease that leads to increased risks of cirrhosis and its complications,as well as extrahepatic disturbances,including immune-related disorders and metabolic alterations such as insulin resistance and steatosis. recent accumulating evidence suggests that hcv infection can increase cardiovascular risk,and that viral eradication can improve cardiovascular outcomes in the clinical setting. these data are strengthened by evidence identifying potential mechanisms (in)directly linking hcv infection to vascular damage. however,the high prevalence of both hcv infection and cardiovascular alterations,as well as the presence of contrasting results not identifying any association between hcv infection and cardiovascular dysfunction,provides uncertainty about a direct association of hcv infection with cardiovascular risk. further studies are needed to clarify definitively the role of hcv infection in cardiovascular alterations,as well as the impact of viral eradication on cardiovascular outcomes. these features are now more attractive,considering the availability of new,safe,and very effective interferon-free antiviral agents for the treatment of hcv infection. this review aims to discuss carefully available data on the relationship between hcv infection and cardiovascular risk. © 2016
