Abstract

Chronic diffuse liver diseases (CDLD) of various etiologies remain a serious socio-economic and clinical-epidemiological health problem. Every year more than 1 million people die from cirrhosis of the liver of various etiology all over the world. According to the results of a study by a group of authors, it was found that in the Siberian Federal District there is an unfavorable situation in terms of gastroenterological mortality, in particular, hepatological mortality. CCM is characterized by lengthening of the QT interval, electromechanical dyssynchronization, and chronotropic insufficiency. The duration of the QTc interval in the subgroup of patients with liver cirrhosis who received basic therapy and the drug lisinopril (Diroton) was (418.21 ± 2.74 ms) and was significantly lower than in the subgroup of patients receiving only basic therapy. Evaluating the parameters of transthoracic echocardiography among patients with liver cirrhosis, it was noted that during treatment with basic drugs in combination with lisinopril (Diroton), the volume of LV EDV significantly decreased (p < 0.05). The appointment of an ACE inhibitor lisinopril to patients with cirrhosis of the liver as part of complex therapy leads to an improvement in general well-being, a decrease in shortness of breath, an increase in exercise tolerance, an improvement in basic laboratory parameters, as well as an improvement in some morphometric parameters (EDV) and cardiac electrical systole.
