  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 56-year-old male with moderate pulmonary hy-pertension associated with liver cirrhosis was treated successfully by long term oxygen and vasodilator therapy. Improvement of pulmonary hypertension and clinical symptoms were proved by chest X-ray, ECG, echocardiography and right heart catheteriza-tion. Hegglin's phenomenon confirmed by phono-and mechanocardiography may suggest a hyperkine-tic state as well as the so-called “energischemeta-bolische Herzinsufficienz” related to liver cirrhosis.

The patient was treated for 18 months. After 2 months of therapy the patient became asymptomatic during modest daily activity, and apparent improve-ments of hemodynamic parameters were observed thereafter. Long term oxygen and vasodilator ther-apy in this patient with pulmonary hypertension associated with liver cirrhosis proved as effective as it has been in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension.
