Liver stiffness (LS) is associated with the presence of fibrosis; however, hepatic congestion due to elevated central venous pressure has also been shown to correlate with LS values. We report here the case of a 35-year-old woman with operated pulmonary stenosis and chronic pericarditis in whom longitudinal follow-up of LS was correlated with the changes in her hemodynamic conditions before and after surgical or percutaneous treatment of residual lesions. This case highlights the potential interest of LS as a reliable marker of hepatic congestion and elevated right ventricle (RV) filling pressures.
