Abstract

Objective: Over the last several years different mechanisms of cardiohepatic syndrome(CHS) in acute decompensated heart failure(ADHF) have been discussed. Hepatocellular liver function tests pattern predominated in left sided forward AHF, cholestatic pattern occurred mainly in bilateral and right sided AHF. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and prognostic value of different patterns of CHS in ADHF. Design and method: In 322 patients with ADHF(190 male,69.5 ± 10.7 years(M ± SD), arterial hypertension 87%, myocardial infarction 56.5%, atrial fibrillation 65.5%, diabetes mellitus 41.6%, chronic kidney disease 39.1%, chronic anemia 29.2%, ejection fraction(EF) 37.6 ± 12.6%, EF Results: Abnormal LFTs occurred in 166(51.6%) of patients. Increase of ALT and/or AST were detected in 68(21.1%) patients (alone ALT/alone AST/both TA – in 35.3/26.5/38.2% respectively), increase of AP and/or GGT in 140 (43.4%) patients (alone AP/alone GGT/both of them – in 27.15/35.7/37.15% respectively). Hepatocellular, cholestatic and mixed pattern of CHS was detected in 8.1, 30.4 and 13.1% of patients with ADHF. In patients with CHS the prevalence of hepatocellular, cholestatic and mixed pattern was 15.7,59,25.3% respectively. Patients with mixed CHS comparing with hepatocellular or cholestatic patterns had lower BMI(28.4 ± 5.3 vs 30.2 ± 7.6 or 31.4 ± 5.6 kg/m2, p Conclusions: Abnormal LFTs occurred in 51.6% of patients with ADHF. The prevalence of hepatocellular, cholestatic and mixed pattern was 15.7, 59, 25.3%. Patients with mixed compared with hepatocellular or cholestatic pattern of CHS had a worse prognosis.
