Cardiac remodelling in novel cluster-based metabolic (dysfunction)-associated fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study in China
The heterogeneity of MAFLD reveals sex-specific patterns of cardiac remodelling: male phenotypes with high BMI and uric acid levels are associated with worse remodelling, whereas a female phenotype characterised by high FIB-4 levels correlates with preserved cardiac function.
