Arrhythmias and Cardiac Cirrhosis

Submit Abstract Register Now

Arrhythmia/cardiac dysrhythmia means irregular heart beats or heart rhythm where muscles of heart contract in a coordinated fashion to insure that blood is been efficiently pumped into the arteries and the extra heart beat are due to premature atrial contraction and premature ventricular contraction. Cardiac cirrhosis (congestive hepatopathy) includes a spectrum of hepatic derangements that occur in the setting of right-sided heart failure. Clinically, the signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF) dominate the disorder. Unlike cirrhosis caused by chronic alcohol use or viral hepatitis, the effect of cardiac cirrhosis on overall prognosis has not been clearly established. As a result, treatment is aimed at managing the underlying heart failure. A separate theory proposes that cardiac cirrhosis is not simply a response to chronically increased pressure and sinusoidal stasis. Because intrahepatic vascular lesions are confined to areas of the liver with higher fibrotic burden, cardiac cirrhosis may require a higher grade of vascular obstruction, such as intrahepatic thrombosis, for its development.
