Liver stiffness as measured by transient elastography is a predictor of outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced, mid-range, and recovered left-ventricular ejection fraction

Liver stiffness as measured by transient elastography is a predictor of outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure with reduced, mid-range, and recovered left-ventricular ejection fraction

Background: Transient elastography is a noninvasive method for assessing liver stiffness (LS), which can reflect right-sided filling pressure associated with passive liver congestion in patients with HF. Methods: A prospective, single-center observational study in which LS was measured in consecutiv...
