Morphofunctional state of the liver and heart in patients in the subacute period of myocardial infarction

Abstract

Purpose. To estimate morphofunctional changes in the liver and heart against the background of acute coronary pathology.
Materials and methods. 115 patients with myocardial infarction have been investigated: ultrasound examination of heart and liver and biochemical study of the blood. According to the results of inspection two 2 groups of patients have been formed: patients with the myocardial infarction and nonalchoholic fatty liver disease (n=41) and patients with the myocardial infarction without the diseases of liver (n=74).
Results. Patients with the myocardial infarction and the fatty liver disease had the more pronounced left ventricular remodeling, disturbance of hepatic blood flow in combination with the phenomena of the venous plethora of the liver.
Conclusion. The systole-diastolic dysfunction of myocardium and the visceral deposition of the blood indicate the development of the concealed heart failure.
