A total of 130 patients with liver cirrhosis who fulfill the criteria of the study, and who have been found to have left ventricular diastolic dysfunction on a screening 2D echocardiography, will then be randomized by Block randomization technique, to two arms in a ratio 1:1(Group A) will receive carvedilol+ Ivabradine targeted therapy for heart rate reduction while Group B will receive Carvedilol alone; and the dosage of drug in the treatment arm will be titrated every week to achieve target heart rate of 50-60/ minute. Patients in the treatment arms, who are unable to tolerate carvedilol due to hypotension episodes, will be offered ivabradine alone to allow achievement of targeted heart rate reduction. All patients will be evaluated at 0,6, and 12 months. The end points will be clinical events, cardiac function improvement, renal function, and mortality.
