Basal, values obtained at the baseline hamodynamic study; PP, values obtained at the postparacentesis haemodynamic study; PD, values obtained at the post-deflation haemodynamic study.
Basal v PP, comparison between basal and postparacentesis values; PP v PD, comparison between postparacentesis and post-deflation values; Basalv PD, comparison between basal and post-deflation values.
Values are mean (SD).
CO, cardiac output; RAP, right atrial pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure; SVR, systemic vascular resistance; FHVP, free hepatic vein pressure; WHVP, wedge hepatic vein pressure; HVPG, hepatic venous pressure gradient; IAP, intra-abdominal pressure.
