Chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) is one of the urgent problems of modern medicine due to its wide prevalence and increased incidence among able-bodied people, to frequent complications and adverse outcomes. Objective. To study the features of structural and geometric parameters and types of remodeling of the left heart chambers in patients with CVH B or C. Subjects and methods. The study involved 67 and 71 patients with CVH B or C, respectively. A control group consisted of 40 apparently healthy individuals matched for sex and age with those in a study group. All the patients underwent an echocardiographic study using a Vivid-7 (GE) 3.75-MHz ultrasound transducer in accordance with the procedure recommended by the American Association of Echocardiography. Results. The leading type of a geometric change in the left heart in patients with CVH is remodeling with the development of predominantly eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy, which was detected in 25.4% of the patients with CVH C and in 22.4% of those with CVH B.
