Integrated Ultrasound-Derived Fat Fraction and 2D/4D HeartAI for Cardiovascular Risk Management in Patients With MASLD

Integration of Ultrasound-Derived Fat Fraction With 2D and 4D HeartAI for Cardiovascular Risk Management in Patients With Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This prospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the association between liver fat fraction measured by ultrasound-derived fat fraction (UDFF) and cardiac functional parameters assessed by 2D and 4D HeartAI in adult patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Participants will undergo baseline assessment and repeat evaluations at 6, 12, and 36 months. The study will assess the diagnostic performance of integrated UDFF-HeartAI analysis for detecting subclinical cardiac abnormalities and identify predictors of cardiovascular risk progression and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with MASLD.
