Due to the high prevalence and fatality rate, heart failure has always been a major medical problem affecting the health of Chinese people. Heart failure often causes dysfunction of other organs, increasing the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment. Complicated with dysfunction of other organs, the prognosis of patients is worse than that of those with simple heart failure. In heart failure, decreased cardiac output and venous congestion lead to cardiac hepatic fibrosis. Studies have shown that heart failure patients with hepatic fibrosis have a higher mortality rate, suggesting a poor prognosis in them. Some scholars claim that liver fibrosis is related to the prognosis of heart failure and that some indexes of hepatic fibrosis have shown prognostic value for heart failure. This article reviews the indexes of hepatic fibrosis.
