Possible use of pulmonary artery stiffness in screening for portopulmonary hypertension
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Clinical Ultrasound"
DOI: 10.1002/jcu.23240
Abstract: Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is characterized by portal hypertension leading to splanchnic vasodilatation and formation of portosystemic shunts. These phenomena contribute directly to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, which is exacerbated by vasoactive substances able… read more here.
