Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and hepatopulmonary syndrome: Prevalence and prognosis in a series of patients (original) (raw)
2013, Respiratory Medicine
Respiratory Medicine (2013) 107, 1030e1036 examination. Complete echocardiographic assessment could be obtained in 64 of the 83 patients of the study. HPS was observed in 16.9% (14/83) and CCM in 23.4% (15/64) of patients. There was a tendency of more serious adverse events before and after OLT in patients with HPS in comparison to others but CCM was not of prognostic value. HPS and CCM were frequent in these patients awaiting OLT but both abnormalities were not found in the same patients. CCM was neither related to death before OLT nor to death or serious adverse events after OLT.
