Abstract
Background: Liver cirrhosis is the production, in response to chronic liver injury, of degenerative nodules surrounded by brous band. Cirrhotic
patients may also have renal, respiratory, hemodynamic and cardiac dysfunction, which increases morbidity and mortality in addition to liver
damage. The prevalence of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is estimated to be between 40 - 50 % in cirrhosis. Present study was aimed to study cardiac
prole in patients of liver cirrhosis. Material and Methods: Present study was single-center, observational, cross-sectional study, conducted in
patients of age > 18 years, diagnosed case of liver cirrhosis. Child-Pugh-Turcotte Score & MELD Score were calculated. Results: Present study
included a total of 103 study participants. The mean age of the study participants was 46.66 ± 9.31 years, majority were males (90.29%) History of
alcohol (85.44%) was the most common etiology seen followed by Hepatitis B (9.71%). According to their Child Pugh scores, most (88.35%) of
the patients of liver cirrhosis belonged to class C, According to their MELD scores most (88.35%) of the patients of liver cirrhosis belonged to class
3. We found a statistically signicant association between the Child Pugh's class and MELD class (χ2 (1, n=103) =52.956, p = 0.001). The patients
of liver cirrhosis who participated in our study are disproportionately distributed in CPclass C and MELD class 3 as compared to the CPclass B and
MELD class 2. Conclusion: Diastolic dysfunction is common in patients of liver cirrhosis irrespective of CPand MELD class. Patients of CPclass
C and MELD class 3 should be monitored for QTprolongation.
