Abstract
Liver stiffness may have a significant direct association with the development of HF from the early stage, without the mediation of arterial stiffness and/or abnormal central hemodynamics. Therefore, the FIB-4 score appears to serve as a direct risk factor for HF from the early stage, and its association with HF may not be mediated by vascular damages.
