The present study investigated whether, in rats with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis of the liver induced by carbon tetrachloride, blood volume restitution following a hemorrhage produces an increase of portal pressure beyond control values, as observed in rats with prehepatic portal hypertensi
We report the results of adapting medical therapy to the monitoring of hemodynamic response in the prevention of a first variceal bleeding or rebleeding in patients with cirrhosis. Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) was measured before and after propranolol was initiated. The patients were cons
