Overview
Electrocardiogram
Abnormalities of cardiac electrophysiology are noted in cirrhosis. The most common finding is QT interval prolongation.
- QT interval prolongation [1]
- It is a sign of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.
- It can be due to the circulating toxins in the blood stream.
- It may be due to drugs used in treatment of cirrhosis
- Stress due to bleed, shock or surgery(transplantation)
