Keywords: Liver, Liver
Motivation: Exploring changes in liver fat content in athletes and its role in predicting late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of myocardium
Goal(s): To use magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction(MRI-PDFF) for the quantization of the liver fat content and prediction of LGE in athletes.
Approach: Recruitment of athletes and controls for cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR) examination, analysis of liver fat content using MRI-PDFF, and application of logistic regression to construct predictive models for LGE.
Results: The liver fat content and mean liver fat fraction were altered in athletes compared with controls. Hepatic fat content can effectively predict LGE after excessive exercise.
Impact: The study advanced sports cardiology by identifying hepatic fat content as emerging indicators for predicting LGE in athletes, enhancing training strategies and early detection of myocardial fibrosis.
