Core Tip

Core Tip: Diastolic dysfunction is usually an early stage of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM). This study found that red blood cell distribution width would have an advantage over N-Terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in indicating diastolic dysfunction in such patients, which is of great significance for the early diagnosis and treatment of CCM.
