DIAGNOSIS OF CIRRHOTIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
Abstract:
Though the hepatic impairment which associates to heart diseases is well known, terms like „cardiac cirrhosis” being established, not the same thing is happening to the heart impairment from the liver cirrhosis, the new clinical entity, the cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, being less known. It is because of this, as well as because of the lack of a diagnostic algorithm, that the cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is still insufficiently diagnosed. It can be diagnosed using a combination of clinical suspicion, electrocardiography, echocardiography and serum marker.
