Summary

This trial is testing if FibroScan, a device that uses sound waves to check for liver damage, is safe for patients with chronic liver disease who have pacemakers or ICDs. The study aims to ensure that using FibroScan does not interfere with these implanted heart devices. FibroScan is a non-invasive device that uses sound waves to measure liver stiffness and has been shown to be reliable for assessing liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
