Description
Summary:Objective: To assess the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function on Echocardiography (ECHO) in patients presented with liver cirrhosis. Study Design: Analytical Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology/National Institute of Heart Diseases Rawalpindi,Pakistan, from Apr 2023 to May 2023. Methodology: Total of n=131 liver cirrhotic patients were recruited by non-probability consecutive sampling technique. All these patients presented and diagnosed with liver cirrhosis on ultrasound, were selected. Their echocardiographic assessment was done by an experienced operator. Gathered data specially the LV diastolic and systolic function, was entered and analyzed in SPSS version-24:00. Chi-square and analysis of variance was applied to find the p-values for study variables in relation with severity of liver cirrhosis. p-value
