Zusammenfassung
Background: Recent studies have demonstrated a correlation of liver stiffness (LS) and portal pressure measured by hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). However, the dynamic components of portal hypertension caused by increased splanchnic blood flow and intrahepatic myofibroblast contraction in advanced cirrhosis may not be adequately assessed by TE. The influence of treatment with non-selective betablockers (NSBB) on the correlation of HVPG and LS has not been investigated so far. Methods: Patients with esophageal varices having an indication for prophylactic treatment with NSBB were included (n=122). LS, he…
