Screening and periodic surveillance for esophageal varices (EVs) by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) are recommended for cirrhotic patients. We investigated non-invasive liver stiffness measurement using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) for the diagnosis of EV presence and high-risk EVs among patients with HCV-related cirrhosis...
