Comparado con los controles sanos, los pacientes mostraron un menor volumen telesistó-lico del ventrículo izquierdo y una mayor fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo, lo que confirma que los pacientes cirróticos con ascitis presentan baja resistencia en el territorio arterial sistémico (31)(32)(33)(34)(35).…”
