The article discusses cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) in patients with liver cirrhosis caused by viral infections like hepatitis B and C. It explores the prognosis and management of this cardiac complication within the context of advanced liver disease. CCM involves cardiac structural and functional changes independent of other heart diseases. Key factors include impaired contractility, altered neurohormonal regulation, electrophysiological abnormalities, and myocardial fibrosis.
