The Cardio-Hepatic Relation in STEMI.

ABSTRACT: Hepatic injury secondary to congestive heart failure is well described, however, only limited data exist about the possible impact of acute cardiac dysfunction on the liver. We aimed to explore the possible cardio-hepatic interaction in patients with myocardial infarction. A single-center retrospective cohort study of 1339 ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent primary coronary intervention between June 2012 to June 2019. Echocardiographic examinations were performed to assess left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and central venous pressure (CVP). Patients were stratified into four groups by their LVEF and CVP levels: LVEF ≥ 45%, and CVP ≤ 10 mm/Hg (n = 853), LVEF < 45% with CVP ≤ 10 mm/Hg (n = 364), EF ≥ 45%, with CVP > 10 mm/Hg (n = 61), and LVEF < 45% wit
