Cardiac dysfunction in liver cirrhosis: A tissue Doppler imaging study from Egypt.
Journal Title: Electronic Physician - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Patients with liver cirrhosis suffer from various cardiac abnormalities, which may influence their outcome. Tissue Doppler recording of the mitral and tricuspid annular diastolic velocities can be used to assess diastolic function accurately. There has been very little published information regarding RV diastolic function in liver cirrhosis. This study is aimed at evaluating right and left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions in post hepatitis C liver cirrhosis patients using conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging.
