Brief Summary
This study is designed to determine if the Fibroscan (Echosens, Paris), a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device used to estimate fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease, interferes with implanted cardiac pacemaker and/or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Recruitment consists of a total of 200 outpatients undergoing routine pacemaker interrogation at a teaching-hospital pacemaker clinic.
