[Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy – Clinically fact or academic curiosity? Review. Part 2: ECG, functional tests, images, biomarkers, screening for coronary heart disease and differentianting diagnosis]
Abstract
The diagnosis of Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy is based on severe hepatic cirrosis with deterioration of cardiac function without previous cardiopathy, but this is subclinical during a long time. In this second part we review the non-invasive diagnostic methods and their prognostic value in patients with or without hepatic transplant, from ECG to cardiac images of magnetic resonance.
El diagnóstico de Cardiomiopatía Cirrótica está basado en la presencia de cirrosis hepática avanzada con alteraciones de la función cardíaca sin cardiopatía pre-existente, pero en gran parte de su evolución natural ésta es subclínica. Por ello son imprescindibles los estudios complementarios no invasivos para confirmar el diagnóstico y su rol pronóstico en pacientes con o sin trasplante hepático. En esta segunda parte revisamos los métodos de diagnóstico desde el ECG hasta las imágenes de resonancia magnética cardíaca.
Keywords: liver cirrhosis; cardiomyopathy; heart failure; biomarkers, images.
