Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Cardiovascular disease in patients with liver disease, previously uncommon, is rising because of an increasing incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and better survival of patients with viral hepatitis, particularly hepatitis C. Liver dysfunction alters the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of many drugs, and hence careful use and dose adjustments are necessary. This chapter describes common cardiovascular conditions and the pharmacotherapy in patients with different liver diseases.
