Cirrhosis patients' stroke risks and adverse outcomes: Two nationwide studies
The association between liver cirrhosis (LC) and stroke is not completely understood. Our purpose is to evaluate stroke risk and post-stroke outcomes in patients with LC.

Cirrhosis and risk of stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Several studies have reported that cirrhosis may increase the risk of stroke. However, its association is controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between cirrhosis and the risk of stroke.

Liver Cirrhosis Tied to Elevated Risk for Stroke
(MedPage Today) -- Liver cirrhosis was linked to a greater risk for stroke in a large retrospective study, and the association was independent of established cardiovascular risk factors, a research reported. In the study of nearly 1.3 million...

The prevalence and prognostic implications of pre-procedural hyperbilirubinemia in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement
AbstractPreoperative hyperbilirubinemia is associated with increased mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery. However, this clinical significance is unclear with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and prognostic implications of preoperative elevations of serum total bilirubin on TAVR outcomes. In 611 consecutive patients who underwent an elective TAVR procedure, 576 patients had recorded serum total bilirubin levels. Hyperbilirubinemia was defined as any value of serum total bilirubin  ≥ 1.2 mg/dL obtained within 30-days prior to th...

Direct Oral Anticoagulants versus Vitamin K Antagonists in Cirrhotic Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Update of Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionDOACs are associated with more favorable safety outcomes and may be a feasible option of oral anticoagulant for individuals with atrial fibrillation and cirrhosis. Pending validation by randomized prospective studies, the findings of this study should be interpreted with caution.

Alcohol and the heart: To abstain or not to abstain?
Abstract: Alcohol has been consumed by most societies over the last 7000years. Abraham Lincoln said “It has long been recognized that the problems with alcohol relate not to the use of a bad thing, but to the abuse of a good thing.” Light to moderate alcohol consumption reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease, CHD mortality, and all-cause mortality, especially in the western populations. However, heavy alcohol consumption is detrimental causing cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmias, hepatic cirrhosis, pancreatitis, and hemorrhagic stroke. In this article, we rev...

Mortality and morbidity in patients with atrial fibrillation and liver cirrhosis.
CONCLUSION: In subjects with liver cirrhosis, AF is associated with higher rates of inpatient mortality, stroke, and acute kidney injury compared to those who do not have the cardiac arrhythmia. PMID: 32843936 [PubMed]

Efficacy and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Liver Disease: a Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that DOACs significantly reduce the risk of ischemic stroke, major bleeding, and ICH, with no significant effect on the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in AF patients with liver disease compared with warfarin.

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Direct Oral Anticoagulants and Vitamin K Antagonists in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Concomitant Liver Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionsCompared with warfarin in patients with AF and liver cirrhosis, DOACs appear to be associated with improved efficacy and safety outcomes. Randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings.

Alcoholic cardiomyopathy : The result of dosage and individual predisposition.
Authors: Maisch B Abstract The individual amount of alcohol consumed acutely or chronically decides on harm or benefit to a person's health. Available data suggest that one to two drinks in men and one drink in women will benefit the cardiovascular system over time, one drink being 17.6 ml 100 % alcohol. Moderate drinking can reduce the incidence and mortality of coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. More than this amount can lead to alcoholic cardiomyopathy, which is defined as alcohol toxicity to the heart muscle itself by ethanol and its metabolites. Historical exa...

Forced Vital Capacity Predicts Morbidity and Mortality in Adult Patients with Fontan Circulation
Due to advances in cardiology and cardiac surgery, the 15-year survival after the Fontan operation for palliation of single-ventricle congenital heart disease (CHD) is now over 90% [1,2]. However, survivors with Fontan circulation are at risk for developing long-term complications that include exercise intolerance, congestive heart failure, protein losing enteropathy, plastic bronchitis, arrhythmias, stroke, and cirrhosis, all of which contribute to the risk for hospitalization and death in long-term follow-up [2 –6].

Role of Doppler Echocardiography for Cardiac Output Assessment in Fontan Patients
Conclusion Doppler SVI correlated with CMRI SVI in patients with systemic LV and systemic RV. The association between output measures (SVI and CI) and FAD were seen only in single LV patients (single RV patients not assessed for this outcome due to small numbers). An association between low Doppler CI and Fontan failure was suggested in a small number of single LV patients.

Mechanism for Temporal Changes in Exercise Capacity After Fontan Palliation: Role of Doppler Echocardiography
Conclusions Overall there was a temporal decline in peak V̇O2 that correlated with decline in Doppler SVI. In the patients who had Fontan conversion operation, there was a temporal improvement in peak V̇O2 that correlated with improvement in chronotropic index.
