Liver Fibrosis Score Predicts Mortality in Heart Failure Patients with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Abstract

NFS, a novel indicator of liver fibrosis, correlates with circulating systemic markers of fibrosis and congestion and is associated with higher all-cause mortality in HFpEF patients. NFS can be calculated simply and may be a useful tool to assess liver stiffness and prognosis in HFpEF patients.
