| Core Tip |
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is less prevalent and associated with a reduced risk of mortality in nonalcoholic liver cirrhosis (LC) patients. Nonalcoholic LC patients with CAD exhibit an increased six-year survival rate compared to cirrhotic patients without CAD. The LC complication rates did not differ between nonalcoholic LC patients with and without CAD. Of note, nonalcoholic LC patients with ascites or peritonitis exhibited the highest risk of mortality among LC complications. |
