Abstract

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a well-known entity. The aim of this study was to compare left atrial three-dimensional (3D) volume and P-wave dispersion (PWd) in patients with cirrhosis and a healthy population. The secondary purpose was to assess the left phasic volumes and reservoir functions with 3D echocardiography for the prediction of an increased risk of poor outcomes in patients with cirrhosis. The study included 50 patients with cirrhosis and 43 healthy control subjects without atrial fibrillation. All patients were assessed with two-dimensional (2D), 3D, and tissue Doppler transthoracic echocardiography. The PWd was calculated using a 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Cirrhotic patients were followed up for 2.5 years for the evaluation of poor outcomes and the development of atrial fibrillation. Patients with cirrhosis were observed to have significantly higher left atrial phasic volumes such as minimal left atrial volume (3D-LAVmin, P = 0.004) and indexed LAVmin (3D-LAVImin, P = 0.0001), and significantly decreased left atrial reservoir functions such as left atrial emptying volume (3D-LAEV, P = 0,001), left atrial ejection fraction (3D-LAEF, P = 0,001) on 3D echocardiography. PWd was determined to be signi...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
