Hypotension in Cirrhosis [PDF]
Circulatory and cardiac compromise in cirrhosis has been well studied. The primary pathophysiology stems from portal hypertension, which is induced from an increased resistance to flow secondary to distorted sinusoidal architecture and is further sustained from an increase in portal venous flow.1 Portal hypertension induces both progressive splanchnic ...
