Figure 3 Kaplan–Meier curve for prognosis in patients with heart failure.
Patients with heart failure were divided into three groups according to the portal vein pulsatility ratio (PVPR) at discharge (PVPR-T1: 0 ≤ PVPR ≤ 0.08, PVPR-T2: 0.08 < PVPR ≤ 0.21, PVPR-T3: PVPR > 0.21). PVPR-T3 had a worse prognosis than the lower PVPR tertiles (log-rank test: aP < 0.05 vs PVPR-T1). PVPR: Portal vein pulsatility ratio.
