Abstract

Due to the increased frequency of cardiovascular diseases in the evolution of chronic liver disease, we proposed to assess echocardiographic changes in patients with rhythm disorders associated with chronic liver disease. To analyze the degree of cardiac damage, each patient was subjected to a complete cardiovascular examination.

Summary

Experimental part The aim of the study

126 patients were diagnosed based on the clinical and para-clinical tests with chronic hepatic disease and 120 patients without chronic liver disease, representing the control group. The purpose of our study was to assess the echocardiographic parameters in patients with rhythm disorders associated with chronic hepatic disease. We have correlated different signs of cardiac damage, those characteristic of systolic and diastolic dysfunction with the etiology of chronic liver disease. To analyze the degree of cardiac damage, each subject in our research (study lot plus control lot) was subjected to a complete cardiovascular examination:. - Anamnesis and clinical examination of the cardiovascular system, with evaluation of positive signs and symptoms, specific to heart disease. We studied left ventricular function, left ventricular diameters both in systole and diastole, left ventricular posterior wall, right ventricle, right atrium, left atrium, and interventricular septum
