EVALUATION OF MORPHOLOGY AND LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC FUNCTION BY ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATITIS B VIRUS-RELATED CIRRHOSIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objjectives: To evaluate the changes of morphology and left ventricular systolic function by echocardiography in patients with hepatitis B virus-related cirrhosis. Patients and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out on 68 HBV related cirrhotic patients and 30 matched subjects without a previous history of cardiac in Bach Mai Hospital from July 2020 to August 2021. All study participants underwent cardiac assessment with echocardiography, the parameters assessed included cardiac dimensions and left ventricular function, cardiac output, Tei index of left ventricular. Results: Left atrial diameter, left ventricular diameters, and left ventricular mass were significantly higher in the HBV related cirrhotic group (p<0.05). Left atrial diameter, left ventricular end - systolic diameter were also higher in Chil - Pugh grade C group (p<0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction was lower, left ventricular ejection time was shorter and Tei index of left ventricular was higher in the HBV related cirrhotic group (p<0.05), as well as Tei index of left ventricular was higher in Child – Pugh grade C group versus Child – Pugh B group (p<0.05).
