Anurag Gour, Ayushi Patel, Sukrati Maheshwari

Background: This study was conducted to studycardiacprofileincirrhosispatients anditscorrelationwithmodel for endstage liverdisease score.Material and methods: Patients visiting OPD and admitted in Department of medicine, R.D.Gardi medical college and charitable hospital , Ujjain. with the diagnosis of Cirrhosis of liver, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study group. 70 such patients were taken up for this study. Cardiac profile was evaluated. Its correlation with severity of liver cirrhosis was further assessed. Results: In this study, the mean age of the cases was 44.89 years. In present study mean Heart rate in Child Turcott Pugh class B =92.53±16.15 and class C=90.40±12.68 and found to be statistically non significant with a p value of 0.571. Heart rate did not change much with increased progression of child class severity. The present study showed a longer corrected QT interval in Page 91 Child pugh class C cirrhotic patients as compared to Child Pugh Class B. Mean PR interval in Child turcott class B=135.49±18.26 and Child turcott class C =144.80±22.61found to be statistically non-significant with a p value of 0.065. In present study mean E/A ratio in Child pugh class B is 1.19±0.52 and Child Pugh class C is 1.19±0.50 found to be statistically significant with a p value of 0.034.Conclusion: MELD score and Child Pugh scoreare time tested modalities used forassessing severityofpatientsinlivercirrhosis.
