Enhancing Heart Failure Detection in the General Population Using the Steatosis‐Associated Fibrosis Estimator

Key Result

The Steatosis-Associated Fibrosis Estimator (SAFE) showed a nearly linear and robust relationship with prevalent heart failure in the general population.

Key Points

• This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the Steatosis‐Associated Fibrosis Estimator (SAFE) and the prevalence of heart failure (HF).
• Analyzed the correlation between SAFE and heart failure incidences
• Focused on the general population for applicability
• Utilized statistical evaluations to support findings
• Identified a nearly linear relationship between SAFE scores and prevalent HF cases
• Demonstrated that SAFE may enhance HF detection efforts
• Suggests potential for broad use in screening strategies
