Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Liver cirrhosis is a major health problem both in the developed and developing countries. The natural history of cirrhosis depends on both the cause and treatment of underlying cause(s). Some of these patients show the symptoms and sign of cardiac dysfunction. Objective: To evaluate left ventricular (dys) function in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. Material and Methods: The study group comprised of 70 cases of liver cirrhosis. They were either newly diagnosed or follow up cases. Cirrhosis of liver was diagnosed on the basis of characteristic clinical history and examination, liver biomarkers and USG (abdomen). Echocardiography was performed with GE VIVID S5 Machine, using a transducer of 3.0 MHz. Result: LV dysfunction was present in 41(58.57%) patients either in form of diastolic or diastolic plus systolic dysfunction. Diastolic dysfunction was more common compared to systolic dysfunction Conclusion: LV dysfunction is common findings in patients of cirrhosis and their prevalence is irrespective of the etiology of cirrhosis and seems to correlate with severity of the disease. However, it’s clinical significance remains unknown probably because of it’s subclinical course. Keyword: Cirrhosis, Cardiomyopathy, Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy
