简介
Background
Cardiac dysfunction is frequently observed in patients with cirrhosis. There remains a paucity of data from routine clinical practice regarding the role of echocardiography in the pre‐assessment of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent‐shunt.
Aim
Our study aimed to investigate if echocardiography parameters predict outcomes after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent‐shunt insertion in cirrhosis.
Methods
Patients who underwent echocardiography and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent‐shunt insertion at the liver unit (Birmingham, UK) between 1999 and 2016 were included. All echocardiography measures (including left ventricle ejection fraction; early maximal ventricular filling/late filling velocity ratio, diastolic dysfunction as per British Society of Echocardiography guidelines) were independently reviewed by a cardiologist. Predictors of 30‐day and overall transplant free …
