Liver stiffness value obtained with ElastPQ ultrasound increases with NYHA class in chronic heart failure patients and reduced ejection fraction.

CONCLUSION: In HFrEF, the LS value increased with NYHA class and independently determined patients with class III-IV disease. A higher LS value independently determined increased RV pressure and systolic functions.
