No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It has been known for many years that the heart and the liver are intimately related. There is a mutual interaction between the function of the heart and the liver and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic entities that affect both the heart and the liver. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection affects more than 3% (170 million) of the world's population.

Conditions

  • Hepatitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Systolic function by echocardiography

Echocardiography for evaluation of systolic function: * by biplane Simpson's method. * by speckle tracking:

PROCEDURE

Diastolic function by echocardiography

Echocardiography for evaluation of diastolic function: * Left atrial Volume * Mitral Inflow Patterns * Pulsed wave Doppler * Mitral inflow patterns include normal, impaired left ventricular relaxation, pseudonormal, and restrictive left ventricular filling patterns. * Tissue Doppler Annular Early and Late Diastolic Velocities * Pulsed wave tissue doppler imaging * Primary measurements include the systolic , early diastolic, and late diastolic velocities.
