Cardiac and liver impairment on multiorgan MRI and risk of major adverse cardiovascular and liver events.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease are common conditions associated with high mortality and morbidity, yet opportunities for integrated prevention are underinvestigated. We explored the association between impairment in the liver (defined by increased iron-corrected T1 (cT1) time) and/or heart (reduced left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 50) and risk of experiencing cardiovascular- or liver-related events or all-cause mortality among 28,841 UK Biobank participants who underwent magnetic resonance imaging. Using Cox proportional hazard models, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia, we observed that cardiac impairment was associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular events (hazard ratio (HR) 2.3 (1
