The relationship between portal hypertension and portal hypertensive gastropathy
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2021Portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) most commonly occurs in the setting of increased portal pressure in patients with cirrhosis. Here, we aimed to understand the correlation between hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and the presence and severity of PHG in patients with cirrhosis.We examined patients with cirrhosis who underwent HVPG measurement

Pathophysiology of Portal Hypertension
Digestive Diseases, 2008Portal hypertension is characterised by alterations in the splanchnic and systemic circulation associated with the development of portosystemic collateral channels, the most important of which are found in lower oesophagus and stomach. Bleeding from these gastro-oesophageal varices represents the major clinical complication and over the last decade ...
