Abstract

Aim of study: to identify the structural and functional myocardial abnormalities in
patients with chronic liver disease of various origin , by two dimensional trans thoracic
Echo assessment
Patients and Methods:
This study is a cross sectional study conducted in AL-Hussain medical city in patients
attending the gastrointestinal and hepatological center and patients admitted to medical
ward in AL-ZAHRRA center of internal medicine from September 2019 , to February
2020 on sample of 34 chronic liver disease patients .The diagnosis was based on history ,
clinical examination ,biochemical investigations , abdominal ultrasound,
Oesophagogastrodudenoscopy and in some patient histopathological findings ,those
patients sent to transthoracic echocardiography study.
Conclusions:
There is significant correlation between chronic liver disease and echocardiographic
changes and the most common finding is diastolic dysfunction

Keywords
