Abstract:AimsThe fibrosis‐4 index (FIB‐4) is a non‐invasive tool to assess fibrosis risk in chronic liver disease. We aimed to explore the relationship between the FIB‐4 index and long‐term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in HCM patients.Methods and resultsConsecutive patients diagnosed with HCM were included. Patients were divided into two groups using a defined cutoff value established through a ROC analysis for predicting MACE (FIB‐4 ≥ 2.37 and FIB‐4 < 2.37). The final analysis comprised 187 HCM patien… Show more
