It is indeed a journey, John. It is important to reach out for feedback, and to remain positive. I was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 liver disease, with extensive scarring, confirmed by a second opinion. I have not had a liver biopsy, but it is on my "to do" list. Question: Have you or anyone else read about the possible connection between liver disease and a-fib, caused by a decrease in blood flow?

Hi!!!
I also have stage 4 liver disease with 1.8 cancer tumor. Before diagnosis I had inconsistent A-fib. Concerned, I visited my Cardiologist and a series of tests were run. Other than new onset high blood pressure, the MD reported everything was good with my heart. However, after asking questions with my liver MD she confirmed the extensively high BP (stroke numbers) and sporadic A-fib was kidney related. Which plays a big part with liver disease. Now, I do intend to get a second opinion. Hope this helps. Lynda
