Abstract
50 male and female subjects divided as 40 patients and 10 controls. The 40 patients were divided into 2 groups the first group were those without ascitis the second group were those with ascitis.
Personal history was taken to each subject of (hepatitis, surgery, blood transfusion) and full clinical examination.
Laboratory investigations include liver function test: AST, ALT, PT, PTT, PC Albumin, proteins, ALP, Total, direct bilirubin. Random Blood Sugar, Resting ECG, abdominal ultrasonography, chest x-ray, E.S.R and kidney function tests.
Echocardiography was done to detect lt., rt. atrial size, rt. Vent. size, lt. Vent. end diastolic volume, Lt.vent end systolic volume, F.s., E.f., peak E, peak A, E/A ratio, EDT, IVRT, MPAP.
The results were:
• Increase left, right atrial diminsions and and right ventricular dimension in 2 cirrhotic patients group (L.C with ascitis more than those without ascites).
• Increase LT. Vent.end diastolic volume in 2 cirrhotic patients groups (L.C with ascitis more than those without ascites).
• Increase Lt.vent.end systolic volume in 2 cirrhotic patients groups (L.C with ascites more than those without ascites).
• E/A ratio decrease in cirrhotic patients with ascitis more than those without ascitis.
