Abstract
Adult Eisenmenger patients are at increased risk of hepatic impairment. Non-invasive screening could be helpful in detecting liver alterations. In our small series, however, TE could not detect fibrosis or cirrhosis in any affected patient, while ARFI was very reliable. Patients should be transferred to centres, where a multidisciplinary expert knowledge is available and a close collaboration between cardiologists and hepatologists exists.
