| Core Tip |
In a single center observational study of 123 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and 123 age- and sex-matched cardiovascular controls, echocardiographic calcium scoring showed that LC - particularly metabolic associated fatty liver disease and alcohol related fatty liver disease - was independently linked to aortic valve calcification, while LC of any etiology strongly predicted mitral annular calcification. Fully adjusted models demonstrated strong discrimination and acceptable calibration, supporting their potential use for risk stratification in LC clinics. These models may help flag high-risk patients who warrant closer echocardiographic surveillance, pending external validation. |
