Right Atrial Pressure Is Not Adequate to Calculate Portal Pressure Gradient in Cirrhosis: A Clinical-Hemodynamic Correlation Study [PDF]
Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), the difference between wedge and free hepatic venous pressure, is the preferred method for estimating portal pressure. However, it has been suggested that hepatic atrial pressure gradient (HAPG)—the gradient between wedge hepatic venous pressure and ...

BACKGROUND Portal hypertension (PHT) in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis causes a range of clinical symptoms, including gastroesophageal varices and ascites. The hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), which is easier to measure, has replaced the portal venous pressure gradient (PPG) as the gold standard for diagnosing PHT in clinical ...

NON-INVASIVE PREDICTORS OF PORTAL HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATITIS C VIRUS RELATED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA [PDF]
The reference standard for portal venous pressure measurement which is clinically important for estimating the feasibility of resection of hepatocellular carcinoma is the hepatic venous pressure gradient, which is invasive and expensive.
