Assessment of portal hemodynamics

Assessment of Portal and Hepatic Hemodynamics after Side-to-side Portacaval Shunt in Patients with Cirrhosis.

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Computational hemodynamics of portal vein hypertension in hepatic cirrhosis patients.

Portal vein hypertension generally occurs in liver diseases like hepatic cirrhosis. It causes hemodynamic changes that are closely related to liver disease. At advanced stages of hepatic cirrhosis, portal vein hypertension leads to the atrophy of the right lobe of the liver and the hypertrophy of the left lobe through a process that has not yet been fully explained. Based on the hemodynamic cha...

Diurnal Variation of Portal Hemodynamics with 4D flow MRI

Target audience: Researchers and clinicians interested in 4D flow for non-invasive assessment of mesenteric circulation and portal hypertension. Introduction: Portal hypertension is an end-stage complication of cirrhosis that leads to dramatic and complex alterations in the hemodynamics of the hepatic and the mesenteric circulation. Currently, there are few valid quantitative biomarkers to asse...

Echocardiographic assessment of cardiovascular hemodynamics in preeclampsia.

OBJECTIVE To assess maternal cardiovascular function using echocardiography in normal and preeclamptic women in the third trimester of pregnancy. METHODS 40 subjects, 20 with preeclampsia and 20 normotensive controls with >34 weeks gestation and singleton pregnancy were recruited. Baseline characteristics, maternal and fetal outcome were studied with systolic and diastolic parameters on echoc...
