Its invasive nature, however, limits its wide use. Hence the need for non-invasive methods in patients with hepar venostaticum due to right ventricular [RV] failure: one of them is the FIB4 index. Another method, Fibroscan, is based on an ultrasound technique from elastography. Objective: to assess the correlation and determination indices between the FIB4 index and the assessment of liver stiffness by Fibroscan (E) on one hand and echocardiographic parameters describing RV function on the other hand. The study group: 33 patients (74 \u00b1 13 years) with heart failure due to pulmonary hypertension, arterial hypertension, valvular diseases, myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathy. Results: echocardiography \u2014 RV dimension 38 \u00b1 8 mm, systolic pressure in pulmonary artery (SPAP) 53 \u00b1 24 mmHg, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) 17 \u00b1 4mm, acceleration time of flow through the pulmonary valve (ACT) 79 \u00b1 23 ms, the degree of tricuspid valve regurgitation 2 \u00b1 1; the FIB4 result in this group \u2014 2.54 \u00b1 1.19, and the stiffness index E: 13.79 \u00b1 12.55 kPa. Only RV dimension and the degree of tricuspid valve regurgitation showed moderately strong positive correlation with the stiffness index E: the correlation index \u2014 0.327 and 0.382, respectively, with the determination index 27.9% and 43.4%, respectively. Conclusion: The results emphasize the relationship between the morphological remodeling of the RV and the degree of secondary tricuspid regurgitation and the advancement of fibrotic changes in the liver and encourage the continuation of studies on larger groups of patients with a homogeneous etiology of RV failure, using a wider spectrum of echocardiographic parameters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.24425\/fmc.2025.156127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]],"date-time":"2025-12-09T13:26:28Z","timestamp":1765286788000},"page":"93-93","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Non-invasive assessment of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis and echocardiographic parameters of the function of the right ventricle"],"prefix":"10.24425","author":[{"given":"Marcin","family":"Mordaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Holy Family Hospital Medical Center, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justyna","family":"Ciupi\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MelissaMed Clinic, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Jab\u0142kowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ga-Med Clinic, Ozork\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Rechci\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SP ZOZ Central Clinical Hospital of the Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Rechci\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MelissaMed Clinic, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karina","family":"Wierzbowska-Drabik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Internal Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wojciech","family":"Hanke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medical Informatics and Statistics, Medical University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Jab\u0142kowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Salve Clinic, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"37468","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]]},"container-title":["Folia Medica Cracoviensia"],"original-title":[],"language":"pl","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.pan.pl\/Content\/137508\/093-099-Folia%20Medica%2002-2025-i-9.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,9]],"date-time":"2025-12-09T13:28:59Z","timestamp":1765286939000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.pan.pl\/dlibra\/publication\/156127\/edition\/137508\/content"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.24425\/fmc.2025.156127","relation":{},"ISSN":["0015-5616"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0015-5616","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]]}}}
