Abstract

Heart failure may cause liver damage, known as cardiomyopathy cirrhosis. Conversely, liver disease could also lead to heart failure and cardiovascular abnormalities. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a relatively rare disease. Diagnosis should be found out as early as possible to prevent complications. Unfortunately, epidemiology data of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is still limited, and the prevalence is still not precisely known. Hence, we reported a case of a young man with the main problem of right-sided heart failure and suspected cardiac cirrhosis with unclear manifestation. This case has a good outcome so that we hope this report could give a great reference on treating cardiomyopathy cirrhosis.

Summary

Introduction

Heart failure may cause liver damage, known as cardiomyopathy cirrhosis. Liver disease can lead to heart failure and cardiovascular abnormalities. We found a very rare case in a young adult man that comes to our hospital with an unclear manifestation of right-sided heart failure. Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is not widely recognized and is often misdiagnosed as alcoholic cardiomyopathy. We reported a case of a young man with the main problem of right-sided heart failure and suspected coincidence with cardiomyopathy cirrhosis. A dry cough accompanied this shortness of breath. He had to use two or more pillows while he slept.
