ABSTRACT
Introduction: Hepatic involvement secondary to decompensated heart failure has high prevalence and influences the evolution and prognosis of these patients.Objective: To validate the prevalence of cardio-hepatic syndrome in patients with decompensated heart failure.
Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 619 patients who were admitted to the Internal Medicine Service at Dr Carlos J. Finlay Central Military Hospital with the diagnosis of decompensated heart failure from January 2018 to January 2020. The variables under study were age, sex, personal pathological history, type of cardio-hepatic syndrome and clinical evolution. Within the statistical analysis, absolute and relative frequencies were used as summary measures.
Results: 63.3% of the patients were older than 70 years, with male predominance. More than 50% of the patients had high blood pressure, previous heart failure and ischemic heart disease. 63.5% had congestive hepatitis, 20.3% had ischemic hepatitis, and 11.6% had mixed findings. 63.6% of the patients progressed towards improvement and health worsened in 61.2%.
Conclusions: Cardio-hepatic syndrome, which is frequent in patients with decompensated heart failure, worsens their health to the point of developing ischemic hepatitis.
