Cardio-Hepatology: Connections Between Hepatic and Cardiovascular Disease delves into a profound relationship between cardiac and hepatic pathologies, unveiling the intricate connection between the heart and liver. It sheds light on how liver diseases can predispose to impairment in heart functioning, and conversely, how heart conditions can lead to liver disorders. With the increasing prevalence of heart failure and congenital heart disease among patients, it becomes crucial to understand the appropriate timing and methods for diagnosing liver disease in this population. This review also addresses the interpretation of abnormal test results and the development of effective management strategies. It explores strategies to mitigate the impairment in liver functioning induced by heart diseases and vice versa, drawing upon robust scientific evidence and a deep understanding of pathophysiology. This comprehensive and in-depth examination of the medical literature is a valuable resource for researchers exploring the intersection of cardiology and hepatology, as well as clinicians guiding therapeutic decisions for patients grappling with heart or liver chronic diseases.
