Heart failure (HF) can damage various organs, including the liver, a phenomenon known as "cardiohepatic syndrome." The latter is characterized by liver congestion and hepatic artery hypoperfusion, which can lead to liver damage. In this study, we aimed to assess liver damage quantitatively in chronic HF (CHF) with sound touch elastography (STE). A total of 150 subjects were enrolled, including HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) groups (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤40%, n = 45), HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) groups (left ventricular ejection fraction between 41% and 49%, n = 40), and right-sided HF (RHF) groups (n = 25); normal groups (n = 40). Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) was performed in all subjects by STE. The other hepatic parameters were also measured. The LSM was 5.4 ± 1.1 kPa in normal subjects and increased slightly to 5.9 ± 0.7 kPa in patients with HFmrEF. However, the HFrEF and RHF groups had significantly higher LSMs of 8.4 ± 2.0 kPa and 10.3 ± 2.7 kPa, respectively. The LSM of HFrEF was significantly higher than that of HFmrEF, whereas the increase in LSM in patients with RHF was significant relative to HFmrEF and HFrEF. In addition, the other parameters showed abnormal values in only RHF and HFrEF. In conclusion, STE is a useful clinical technique for the noninvasive evaluation of liver stiffness associated with CHF, which could help patients with CHF manage their treatment regimens.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
