Abstract-Vorschau
Background and aims: Measurement of liver stiffness (LS) by transient elastography [Fibroscan] is a non-invasive tool to assess liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. However, LS seems to be unreliable in patients with congestive heart failure suggesting that an increased central venous pressure may affect LS. Methods and results: Using landrace pigs, we here studied the direct relationship between the pressure in the caval vein…
