| Popis: | In this article, we review both acute and chronic liver diseases that occur as a result of heart or circulatory system failure. Ischemic hepatitis, congestive hepatopathy, cardiac cirrhosis, and Fontan liver disease are reviewed. We review clinical presentation, diagnostic data, prognosis, and available therapeutic strategies for these entities. We aim to increase awareness about cardio-hepatic disease as the prevalence of this disorder in adults is increasing. Due to advances in medical and surgical care, patients with heart disease are living longer and thus exposing long-term effects on the liver that are clinically relevant. There may be a role for dual organ transplantation in some cases, but this is a very challenging endeavor, and newer ideas about treatment or prevention are needed. |
