Did you know that the average human heart beats around 100,000 times a day? The book also tells you how to look after your heart, & assess & reduce your risk of heart disease. In addition, it provides useful web sites & addresses. Full-color images throughout the book show how much the heart has embedded itself in our psyche. Translated from the French edition. Beautifully designed!"

"Heart abnormalities in cirrhotic patients have been known for five decades, with atria and ventricular dilatation. Pozzi et al reported that in cirrhotic patients with or without ascites, the diastolic function was lower than control. Ascitic paracentesis improved diastolic function. The diameter of both atria was larger in cirrhotic patients with or without ascites. The diastolic diameter of left ventricle did not differ significantly in cirrhotic patients with or without ascites compared to control, but there was an increase after paracentesis. Eection fraction was lower in cirrhotic and increased after ascitic parancentesis although the increase was not significant.

The aim of the Study: To compare the function and structure o fthe heart before and afler ascitic paracentesis in cirrhotic patients.

Methods: This study tool: place from February 2000 to April 2001 in dr. Pringadi Hospital/H.Adam Malik Hospital. There were 18 samples (12 men and 6 women), 15 of which were cirrhotic patients with tense ascites and 3 cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites. The mean age was 51,8 + 8,28 years, the youngest being 29 years and the oldest 65 years. The mean ascitic fluid removed by paracentesis was 7,20 liters with a range of 5 to 9 liters. Immediately following paracentesis, Dextran 40 % was administered at a dose of 8g lL ascilic fluid aspirated.

Results: The diameter of the four heart chambers decreased after paracentesis, but the decrease was not statistically significant. There was increase in E/A ratio after ascitic paracentesis, from 0,93 + 0,3 70 to 1,06 + 0,383 (significant, p<0, 05), meaning that there was an improvement in diastolic function after ascitic paracentesis. There was also an increase in ejection fraction from 68,99 + 13,26 % to 72,10 + 11,10 %, bitt this was not significant (p>0,05).

Conclusion: after paracentesis, there was a significant inmprovement in diastolic function while diameter of the four heart chambers decreased and the ejection fraction increased insignificantly"
