Liver stiffness value obtained by point shear wave elastography is significantly related with atrial septal defect size.

CONCLUSION: LS value assessed by pSWE was significantly increased in ASD patients with closure indication and Eisenmenger syndrome compared to patients without ASD closure indication and was comparable with TRPG in regards to Eisenmenger syndrome identification. ASD size significantly associated with LS and independently predicted abnormal LS increase ≥7 kPa. PMID: 32558650 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
