Electric and Hemodynamic Effects of Beta-Blockers in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

Abstract: Acute and chronic heart failure can lead to acute or chronic liver injury through various mechanisms. Treatment in these cases should primarily target heart disease. Patients with advanced liver disease may experience various manifestations at the cardiac level, mainly cardiomyopathies (dilatation cardiomyopathy of alcoholic aetiology, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). These conditions involve hemodynamic changes, systolic function impairment, diastolic dysfunction, reduced cardiac output (low left ventricular eje… Show more

“…Chronic liver disease can induce systolic and diastolic dysfunction, electrophysiological changes (QT prolongation), and hemodynamic conditions in the presence of a cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. All this can improve significantly after liver transplantation [ 12 , 13 ]. Through the extrahepatic manifestations of the disease, CHC contributes to the elevation of the morbidity and the hospitalization cost, developing economic pressure on health insurance systems [ 14 ].…”
