Assessing the left atrial function via echocardiography to detect cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in patients with liver cirrhosis - a scoping review
Background: Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a condition observed in patients with chronic liver disease, characterized by dysfunction in both cardiac diastolic and/or systolic function. This condition is often underdiagnosed due to a l...
