Chronic liver diseases often result in the development of liver fibrosis and ultimately,
cirrhosis. Treatment strategies and prognosis differ greatly depending on the severity of liver …

Two‐dimensional shear wave elastography (2D‐SWE) has proven to be efficient for the
evaluation of liver fibrosis in small to moderate‐sized clinical trials. We aimed at running a …

Background and aims Many patients with liver disease come to medical attention once they
have advanced cirrhosis or acute decompensation. Most often, patients are screened for …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important public health problem in Canada. In keeping
with evolving evidence and understanding of HBV pathogenesis, the Canadian Association …

Background: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is often accompanied by liver
congestion through increased right atrial pressure (RAP). Liver stiffness (LS) assessed non …

OBJECTIVE. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of transient elastography for
