Introduction
More than six decades ago, investigators noticed the presence of cardiovascular abnormalities in cirrhosis. Kowalski
and Abelmann in 1953 found that patients with cirrhosis had an increased cardiac output while mean arterial pressure
(MAP) and systemic vascular resistance were decreased
[1], the so-called hyperdynamic circulation. Later on physicians
perceived that despite an increased baseline cardiac output, the contractile response of the heart to pharmacological and
physiological stress is attenuated in patients with cirrhosis
[24]. For more than two decades, it was taken for granted
that the blunted cardiac contractile response was due to alcoholic toxicity, so-called alcoholic cardiomyopathy. This
opinion prevailed until the mid-1980s when Lee and others
[5] found that a similar pattern of cardiac dysfunction was
also present in nonalcoholic cirrhosis in humans and in animal models
[5,6]. These studies demonstrated that cirrhosis
per se induces this specific pattern of high-output heart failure, a phenomenon now termed cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.
Cardiomyopathy appears to reverse with recovery of liver injury
[7]. This chapter reviews the diagnostic criteria, preva-
lence, pathogenic mechanisms, clinical relevance, and management strategies of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.
Definition and diagnostic criteria
Patients with cirrhosis, despite the baseline increase in cardiac output, when challenged, show attenuated sys-
tolic and diastolic contractile responses to stress stimuli, electrophysiological repolarization changes, including
prolonged QT interval, and enlargement or hypertrophy of cardiac chambers. This constellation of cardiac abnor-
malities is termed cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. The first attempt to define criteria was formulated at the 2005
World Congress of Gastroenterology in Montreal.
Diagnostic criteria [8]:
1. Abnormal systolic contractile responses to stress.
2. Diastolic dysfunction at rest.
3. Absence of clinically significant cardiopulmonary disease.
Systolic dysfunction (at least one of the following):
1. Blunted increase in cardiac output with exercise, volume challenge, or pharmacological stimuli.
2. Resting LVEF , 55%
Diastolic dysfunction (at least one of the following):
1. E/A ratio (age corrected) ,1.0
2. Prolonged deceleration time ( . 200 Ms)
3. Prolonged isovolumic relaxation time ( . 80 Ms)

Supportive criteria:
1. Electrophysiological abnormalities including the following:
• Abnormal chronotropic response to stress.
• Electromechanical uncoupling/dyssynchrony.
• Prolonged QTc interval.
2. Heart chamber alterations: enlarged LA, increased LVWT.
3. Increased pro-BNP and BNP.
4. Increased troponin I.
BNP, Brain natriuretic peptide; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; LVWT, left ventricular wall thickness.
More than 15 years have been passed since the creation of those criteria. Advances in both echocardiographic
techniques and also in our understanding of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the subgroup
that cirrhotic cardiomyopathy falls into, have allowed refinement and redefinition of the criteria. Accordingly,
we recommend that the 2005 Montreal criteria be abandoned and future studies should use the new CCM
Consortium criteria. The Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy Consortium, which included a multidisciplinary expert
group (hepatology, anesthesia, and cardiology), redefined the diagnostic criteria of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in
2020. In brief, these proposed criteria were based on the cardiac abnormalities detected under advanced methods
such as echocardiographic strain analysis and tissue Doppler imaging, in patients with cirrhosis. The new pro-
posed criteria by the Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy Consortium are as follows:

index.
According to either the old or new criteria, the prevalence of CCM ranges from 18% to 70% (Table 15.1).
Distinction from other cardiomyopathies
The diagnosis of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is based on abnormal systolic and diastolic function, detected by
advanced ultrasonographic methods, in the absence of preexisting heart disease. Since different types of cardio-
myopathies such as alcoholic and ischemic cardiomyopathy manifest similar echocardiographic abnormalities, it
may be difficult to differentiate CCM from these conditions based purely on ultrasonography. Thus, a history of
alcohol excess, along with features of ischemic heart disease such as angina pectoris, and risk factors for athero-
sclerosis will help differentiate these other conditions.
Although the diagnosis of alcoholic cardiomyopathy can be nonspecific
[31], typically, it manifests a dilated
cardiomyopathy characterized by moderately or severely depressed contractility and ventricular dilatation.
Thus, in addition to the alcohol history, patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy show much more overt heart
failure compared to C CM. Ischemic cardiomyopathy is defined as left ventricular dysfunction in the presence
of severe coronary artery disease
[32]. Similar to alcoholi c cardiomyopathy, ischemic cardiomyopathy is more
overt and more severe than CCM. Besides the history of angina, another possible differentiating feature in
ischemic cardiomyopathy may be the presence of localized ventricular wall motion abnormality compared to
mild diffuse or no wall motion changes in CCM
[33]. In that respect, a peculiar subtype of ventricular dysfunc-
tion, known as Takotsubo syndrome
[34], characterized by lack of coronary arterio sclerosis and acute onset of
heart failure, shares some features of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. In both conditions, sympathetic overactivation,
in particular due to catecholamine surges, appear to play a pathogenic role. However, t he transient nature,
chest pain, and localized ventricular wall motion abnormalities readily distinguish Takotsubo syndrome from
cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.

Clinical significance
Prevalence
CCM prevalence ranges from 23.4% to 80.6% (Fig. 15.1, Table 15.2) [35]. The variability may be due to different
patient selection criteria and variable methods of cardiac function evaluation. CCM development is based on cir-
rhosis per se, not on the underlying etiology of cirrhos is
[3638]. However, Salari et al. found a higher preva-
lence of CCM in Hepatitis C-induced cirrhosis and Karagiannakis et al. reported that nonalcoholic cirrhosis had a
higher frequency of CCM
[16,17]. However, these two studies are outliers as the vast majority of studies demon-
strated that prevalence is independent of the cause of cirrhosis.
Razpotnik and colleagues recently compared the prevalence of CCM according to three different diagnostic criteria.
They examined the 2005 Montreal criteria, the 2020 Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy Consortium criteria
[48],andthe
American Society of Echocardiography (ASE)/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) criteria
(ASE/EACVI). They found that the overall prevalence of CCM was similar for the Montreal criteria (67.2%) compared
to the CCM Consortium criteria (55.7%, P5 .9). The study also revealed that these criteria have poor agreement; only
15.6% patients met all three criteria, which means that all three systems basically selected different subsets of patients.
As no clear “gold standard” for the diagnosis of CCM exists, in order to determine which definition system to use will
depend on which one correlates best with meaningful outcomes such as mortality and adverse cardiac events includ-
ing overt heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Thus this will require long-term outcome studies.
Mechelinck et al.
[49] found that the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with low
GLS was 64%, and with high GLS was 43%, significantly higher than that with normal GLS (27%, P , .05).
However, normal GLS cannot rule out the presence of MACE in liver transplant candidates. It is clear that we still
need to establish universally accepted diagnostic criteria for CCM. Because the new CCM Consortium criteria are

based on modest adaptations of the ASE/EACVI criteria, for patients with cirrhosis, we believe that at present, the
field of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy would best be served if studies proceed using the 2020 CCM Consortium criteria.
The correlation between the severity of liver disease and CCM is unclear. In other words, are the features or
extent of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy more pronounced as the degree of liver failure increases with advancing cir-
rhosis? Some studies have indeed demonstrated an association between CCM and Child-Pugh Score and/or
model of end-stage liver disease (MELD) Scores
[9,16,29,50]; others did not find these relationships
[14,15,23,25,26,28]. In children with biliary atresia waiting for transplant, the association between the pediatric
end-stage liver disease score and cardiac dysfunction is also inconsistent across studies
[51,52].
However, we believe that CCM does indeed correlate with the severity of liver failure. This is based on four observa-
tions. (1) Cardiac dysfunction normalizes after liver transplantation although this is somewhat controversial. (2) There is
a consensus that electrocardiographic QT prolongation is correlated with the degree of liver failure and improves after
transplant (
Table 15.2). (3) Rats with prehepatic portal hypertension due to portal vein ligation have equal extent of por-
tal hypertension and hyperdynamic circulation compared to cirrhotic rats, but normal liver function; however, these
rats also have normal cardiac function
[53]. (4) Finally, we believe that the discrepancies in the literature are mainly due
to major differences in how extent of CCM was measured, that is, lack of universally accepted CCM criteria/definitions.
Morbidity/mortality after cardiovascular challenges
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is less likely to be clinically recognized in the absence of stressful stimuli. This is
because of the reduced ventricular afterload in cirrhotics due to peripheral vasodilation, thus “auto-treating” the
patient and preventing the development of overt congestive heart failure. However, if there is significant stress
on the heart, signs of cardiac dysfunction may become more evident. Overt heart failure can be precipitated by
stresses such as liver transplantation or transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) insertion. Moreover,
cirrhotic cardiomyopathy may play an important role in the pathogenesis of hepatorenal syndrome.
Transjugular intrahepatic portal systemic shunts
As mentioned above, diastolic relaxation is impaired in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, primarily because of stiffen-
ing and/or hypertrophy of the left ventricle, leading to decreased compliance and higher diastolic pressures.
Finucci and colleagues
[54] in the mid-1990s demonstrated diastolic dysfunction in cirrhotic heart, reporting that
almost all of the diastolic indices, such as left ventricular end-diastolic and left atrial volume, stroke volume, late
diastolic flow velocity (peak A) time from onset of mitral inflow to the early peak (time E) and deceleration time
(DT) were significantly impaired. The E/A ratio is the echocardiographic measurement of the E (early) wave veloc-
ity of blood filling the ventricle during the initial part of diastole divided by the velocity of late diastolic filling
wave (called A wave as the “‘atrial kick”’ predominates during this stage). The E/A is a common parameter used
for estimation of diastolic function but has a number of limitations including age- and preload-dependence. They
found that E/A ratio was significantly decreased in cirrhotic heart compared with controls
[54].
TIPS reduces portal pressure in cirrhotic patients and is widely used as a nonsurgical therapy to treat portal
hypertension-related complications, such as refractory ascites, recurrent variceal hemorrhage, or hepatorenal syn-
drome. TIPS has a marked effect on systemic hemodynamics. In particular, it rapidly shifts a large volume of
blood from the splanchnic vascular bed to the heart, thus increasing the cardiac preload. This poses a challenge
to the cirrhotic heart. Despite exclusion of patients with cardiac dysfunction from receiving TIPS, cases of unex-
plained cardiac events such as severe heart failure or even cardiac deaths sometimes occur after TIPS insertion
[55,56]. This emphasizes that cardiac dysfunction needs to be carefully ruled out before TIPS insertion.
Wong and colleagues demonstrated that the insertion of TIPS increases cardiac preload; thus, the cardiac out-
put is increased by B50%
[57] and the right atrial and pulmonary artery pressures by B100% [58]. Therefore,
this stress is likely to bring forth any subt le cardiac abnormalities in these patients. Indeed, all the cardiac deaths
occurred in patients who had an E/A ratio # 1 during their pre-TIPS work-up, while all other standard cardiac
investigations were normal
[58].
To sort out the relationship of TIPS and cardiac complications, two studies
[12] prospectively evaluated car-
diac function and its effect on patients’ outcomes after TIPS insertion. Cazzaniga et al. prospectively examined
the prognostic utility of both liver and cardiac functions in cirrhotic patients who underwent TIPS
[9]. Their uni-
variate analysis indicated that liver function, represented by baseline MELD score, and diastolic function
