Overview
An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. Findings on an ECG suggestive of cirrhosis include prolonged QTc interval.
Electrocardiogram
- An ECG may be helpful in the diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. Findings on an ECG suggestive of cirrhosis include:[1][2][3][4]
- Prolonged QTc interval
- This could correlate with increased left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) on echocardiography, indicating the severity of the volume overload in cirrhotic patients.
