How does cardiogenic cirrhosis develop?

Cardiac cirrhosis may be caused by repeated attacks of rheumatic valvular heart disease, constrictive pericarditis, pulmonary heart disease and other diseases.

1. Rheumatic valvular heart disease

Rheumatic valvular heart disease is a relatively common cause of cardiac cirrhosis, which can cause congestive heart failure, resulting in a gradual increase in the pressure of the right atrium and right ventricle, causing liver hypoxia and congestion, causing hepatocyte necrosis and atrophy, thus causing cardiac cirrhosis.

2. constrictive pericarditis

constrictive pericarditis will limit the diastolic expansion and filling of the heart, leading to an increase in the end-diastolic pressure of the right ventricle, hepatocyte hypoxia and necrosis, causing cardiac cirrhosis.

3. Pulmonary heart disease

Pulmonary disease can lead to an increase in pulmonary circulation resistance, causing hypertrophy, expansion, failure, etc. of the right ventricle, resulting in hepatocyte atrophy and necrosis, resulting in cardiac cirrhosis.
