Previously, studies on liver fibrosis and cardiac remodeling have focused on advanced stages of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is associated with left ventricular (LV) concentricity and may relate to interleukin-1 receptor type 2. Interleukin-1 signaling is a potential mechanistic interlink between early liver fibrosis and LV remodeling.
