Key result
Liver cirrhosis links to QTc prolongation and diastolic dysfunction tracking with advancing Child-Pugh class.
Why the study?
What are the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes in patients with liver cirrhosis without classical cardiac risk factors, and how do they correlate with disease severity?
Observational
What are the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes in patients with liver cirrhosis without classical cardiac risk factors, and how do they correlate with disease severity?
Routine ECG and echocardiographic evaluation can identify subclinical cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and guide risk stratification in patients with liver cirrhosis.
May support ECG/echo screening in advanced cirrhosis; leaves open prognostic value and intervention effects.
n n n n n QTc prolongation and other ECG abnormalities are common in cirrhosis and correlate significantly with disease severity, making them useful early markers of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.n n n n n Diastolic dysfunction is the most frequent echocardiographic abnormality and increases with advancing Child-Pugh class.Routine ECG and echocardiographic evaluation can help identify subclinical cardiac involvement and guide risk stratification in cirrhotic patients.

Das et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis was evaluated on Electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes (QTc prolongation, diastolic dysfunction). Liver cirrhosis is associated with QTc prolongation and diastolic dysfunction, which correlate significantly with advancing Child-Pugh class.
