Diastolic Dysfunction Is a Predictor of Poor Survival in Patients with Decompensated Cirrhosis

Table 4

Baseline characteristics of cirrhotic patients with moderate ascites who developed HRS and those who did not develop HRS during follow-up.

LVEF (%)			0.75
Mitral ratio			0.04
ratio			0.002

Diastolic dysfunction (DD)
No DD	1 (6.2%)	20 (26.3%)	0.03
Grade 1 DD	4 (25%)	26 (34.2%)

Abbreviations: HRS: hepatorenal syndrome; MELD: model for end stage liver disease; LVEF: left ventricle ejection fraction; DT: deceleration time of E wave; ratio: ratio of early diastolic annular velocity to peak early diastolic annular wave velocity; ratio: ratio of early diastolic annular velocity to peak late diastolic arterial filling velocity; LVDD: left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
