Hemodynamic effects of ambrisentan-tadalafil combination therapy on progressive portopulmonary hypertension

Figure 1 Transthoracic echocardiography performed before and after treatment. A: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed before treatment. The parasternal short axis view at the basal level in diastole shows pronounced interventricular septal deviation toward the left ventricle accompanied by pericardial effusion; B: TTE performed after treatment. The parasternal short axis view at the basal level in diastole shows a decrease in the interventricular septal deviation toward the left ventricle. Pericardial effusion has disappeared. RV: Right ventricle; LV: Left ventricle.
