Introduction: Cardiovascular abnormalities have been reported in liver cirrhosis (LC). In these patients, cardiac symptoms and physical signs occur as the liver functions worsen. Cirrhosis is associated with hyper dynamic circulation and beta-adrenergic system changes responsible for the cardiovascular abnormalities. The purpose of the present study was to explore the echocardiographic findi...
متن کاملAutonomic dysfunction in alcoholic cirrhosis and its relation to sudden cardiac death risk predictors.
Patients with liver cirrhosis have autonomic dysfunction and complex cardiovascular changes. Increases risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) was recently recognized in liver cirrhosis. This study analyzed risk predictors for SCD related to autonomic dysfunction in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC). Twenty five patients with ALC were examined and compared with healthy control group. Ca...
متن کاملHeart Function and Myocardial Tissue Characterization in Patients with HCV Related Cirrhosis: Diastolic Dysfunction and Cardiac Hypertrophy
Evidence of diastolic dysfunction in cirrhosis contributed to the definition of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. In 109 patients with chronic HCV infection with or without cirrhosis E/A ratio, a Doppler marker of diastolic dysfunction, was decreased in cirrhotics (0.89 ± 0.03 vs controls 1.21 ± 0.07, p < 0.01) and to a lesser extent in patients with advanced liver fibrosis (1.17 ± 0.07, p < 0.01). Lef...
متن کاملCardiovascular dysfunction in patients with liver cirrhosis
Hyperdynamic syndrome is a well-known clinical condition found in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, characterized by increased heart rate and cardiac output, and reduced systemic vascular resistance and arterial blood pressure. The leading cause of hyperdynamic circulation in cirrhotic patients is peripheral and splanchnic vasodilatation, due to an increased production/activity o...
متن کاملCardiac dysfunction in cirrhotic portal hypertension with or without ascites
BACKGROUND Alteration of cardiovascular functions in patients with liver cirrhosis has been described and it correlates with severity of hepatic failure. But cardiac functions by conventional 2-dimensional (2-D) echocardiography has limitations. The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiac systolic and diastolic functions in liver cirrhosis patients with or without ascites by tissue Doppler ima...
متن کاملIncreased circulating pro-brain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with cirrhosis: relation to cardiovascular dysfunction and severity of disease.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cardiac dysfunction may be present in patients with cirrhosis. This study was undertaken to relate plasma concentrations of cardiac peptides reflecting early ventricular dysfunction (pro-brain natriuretic peptide (proBNP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)) to markers of severity of liver disease, cardiac dysfunction, and hyperdynamic circulation in patients with cirrhosis....
