Usefulness of Liver Stiffness on Ultrasound Shear-Wave Elastography for the Evaluation of Central Venous Pressure in Children With Heart Diseases

Background:Liver stiffness on ultrasound shear-wave elastography (SWE) reflects central venous pressure (CVP) in adult patients with heart failure, but the association of liver stiffness on SWE with CVP in pediatric patients is not clear. The present study evaluated whether liver stiffness on SWE is...

Zusammenfassung:	Background:Liver stiffness on ultrasound shear-wave elastography (SWE) reflects central venous pressure (CVP) in adult patients with heart failure, but the association of liver stiffness on SWE with CVP in pediatric patients is not clear. The present study evaluated whether liver stiffness on SWE is useful as a non-invasive indicator of CVP in pediatric patients.Methods and Results:Liver stiffness was measured using ultrasound SWE in 79 patients aged
