| Sumario: | Hepatic transplantation (HT) is the standard of care of end-stage liver disease with Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy (CCM), but medical treatment with combination of diuretics and non-selective beta blockers are important before and after that. Owing to its particular pathophysiology unlike another etiologies of heart failure, in CCM angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin II type I receptor blockers (ARB), and angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) are not recommended. Transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) has indications in CMM but its potential benefits and risks must be considered and more researh is necessary. HT is a demanding therapy but the most effective one, and showed improvement in QTc, diastolic and systolic dysfunction; in recent decades, in spite of more severe ill patients (more severe MELD score), survival has improved significantly due to better surgical techniques, intensive care, immunosupresive drugs, and images. |
