Figure 2 Changes in the portal vein pulsatility ratio from admission to discharge in patients with heart failure.
The portal vein (PV) pulsatility ratio (PVPR) was significantly decreased after the improvement in heart failure (HF) due to the significant increase in minimum PV velocity. Some patients with HF (14%) did not demonstrate an improvement in the PVPR at discharge. aP < 0.05. Solid line: PVPR decreased at discharge. Dotted line: PVPR increased at discharge. PVPR: Portal vein pulsatility ratio.
