Why the study?

Is autonomic dysfunction associated with hyperdynamic circulation in patients with advanced cirrhosis?

Population

30 patients with cirrhosis, most with an advanced stage of the disease (with ascites)

Design

Cross-sectional

Implication

Autonomic dysfunction was associated with hyperdynamic features in cirrhosis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical consideration.

Structured PICO

Is autonomic dysfunction associated with hyperdynamic circulation in patients with advanced cirrhosis?

Population

30 patients with cirrhosis, most with an advanced stage of the disease (with ascites)

Outcome

Hemodynamic status including cardiac index, heart rate, peripheral vascular resistance, and mean arterial pressuresurrogate

Autonomic dysfunction, particularly vagal dysfunction, is highly prevalent in advanced cirrhosis and correlates with the severity of hyperdynamic circulation.
