Table 3 Liver stiffness measurement in heart failure
| Measurement | |
| Indications of FibroScan in HF | (1) Assessment of adequate venous decongestion prior to discharge; (2) prognosis after an acute exacerbation; and (3) risk stratification for determining right ventricular support needs before LVAD placement |
| The cut-off value of LS in HF | LS < 7 kPa: Normal RV filling pressure and exclusion of RV failure |
| LS 7-8 kPa: Gray zone | |
| LS 8-12.5 kPa: Increased risk of morbidity and mortality from HF or cardiac death; increased risk of RV failure in case of LVAD implantation | |
| LS > 35 kPa: BiVAD needed due to RV failure |
