Overview

Positions non-invasive liver elastography as a potential prognostic tool for decompensated HF; leaves open.

Structured PICO

Does liver stiffness measured by transient elastography predict adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized with decompensated heart failure?

P
Population
194 patients hospitalized with decompensated heart failure (DHF), mean age 68 ± 11 years, 71% male, mean LVEF 39±14%.
I
Intervention
Liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography (TE) on admission and/or discharge
O
Outcome
Composite of all-cause death, heart transplantation, HF rehospitalisation, and valve replacement therapycomposite

Liver stiffness measured by transient elastography at discharge is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and heart failure rehospitalization in patients with decompensated heart failure.
