In patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension, propranolol administration reduces heart rate and cardiac output and diminishes portal pressure and collateral blood flow. However, there is little information on the possible effects of propranolol on hepatic artery blood flow. The present study a
The effects of propranolol on blood flow through gastroesophageal collaterals and on systemic and hepatic hemodynamics were investigated in 23 cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. Gastroesophageal collateral blood flow was evaluated by the measurement of azygos venous blood flow by continuou
## Physical exercise increases portal pressure (hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG]) in patients with cirrhosis. It is unknown if this deleterious effect is associated with changes in gastroesophageal collateral blood flow and if these can be prevented by propranolol administration. The aim of
