Abstract | BACKGROUND: Patients with cirrhosis have been shown to be associated with myocardial
dysfunction. However, limited studies have evaluated cardiac function in
patients with cirrhosis before and after liver transplantation.
PURPOSE: The aim of the study is to evaluate biventricular myocardial function
before and after liver transplantation in patients with cirrhosis.
METHODS: A total of 67 consecutive patients (mean age 54.9±7.7 years; 73.1%
male) with cirrhosis referred for liver transplantation were recruited. Conventional
and advanced 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography were performed
to assess for biventricular function. During the follow up period, a total of 41 patients
underwent successful liver transplantation and the rest remains on the liver
transplantation waiting list. A second echocardiography was performed in all patients
within the following date (patients following liver transplantation: 18.2±6.6
months and patients who did not receive liver transplantation: 20.4±8.3 months).
RESULTS: For patients who received liver transplantation, a reduction of left ventricular
(LV) diastolic and systolic volume (71.3±16.9ml vs. 91.4±27.1ml and
25.2±7.7ml vs. 32.2±12.9ml, respectively; both P<0.01), a trend towards a lower
LV mass (195.8±54.5g vs. 214.0±55.1g, P=0.05) and improved LV global longitudinal
and circumferential strains (−20.8±2.0% vs. −18.5±2.6% and −18.7±2.3%
vs. −16.5±2.4%, respectively; both P<0.01) were observed. In addition, these patients
showed a reduction of right ventricular (RV) end diastolic and systolic area
(12.4±2.2cm2 vs. 13.6±3.7cm2 and 5.5±1.2cm2 vs. 6.2±2.1cm2, respectively;
both P<0.05), and improved RV strain (−23.2±2.5% vs. −21.0±4.8%, P<0.01)
following liver transplantation. For patients who did not receive liver transplantation,
both left and right heart dimension and function remained similar between
first and second echocardiography.
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrates that patients with cirrhosis had reduced
biventricular chamber dimension and improved biventricular systolic function
following liver transplantation. No such association was found in patients who
did not receive liver transplantation. The present finding thus suggested that myocardial
dysfunction in patients with cirrhosis could be reversed following successful
liver transplantation. |
