Cardio-Hepatology

About this book

A multi-author book about the traffic between the heart and the liver, edited by a cardiologist in Osaka and a hepatologist in Calgary. It runs in three parts: the shared ground, from fatty liver and cardiovascular risk to amiodarone and beta-blockers; what heart failure and the Fontan circulation do to the liver; and the circulation in cirrhosis, from cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and hepatorenal syndrome to cardiac work-up before and after liver transplantation.
