VENOUS HUMS IN HEPATIC CIRRHOSIS

Venous hums in hepatic cirrhosis.

from Post-mortem Record (Bland-Sutton Institute, No. 228/47). Nothing abnormal was found in the heart, great vessels, or lungs. Blood clots were present in the lumen of the cesophagus, and dilated tortuous veins in the submucosa, extending from the cardia to the level of the aortic arch. A circular perforation, 5 mm. in diameter, was found in a vessel 8 cm. from the cardia. There was no-free fl...

Pulmonary arterio-venous fistulae in hepatic cirrhosis.

Cyanosis, clubbing, and arterial oxygen desaturation may occur in patients with liver disease, and are attributed to the presence of pulmonary or peripheral arterio-venous shunting. Cardiac catheterisation and angiocardiography in a patient with a normal heart did not demonstrate the presence of abnormal arterio-venous anastomoses. Pulmonary shunting was proved when intravenous technetium-label...

Minimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients with Cirrhosis by Measuring Liver Stiffness and Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient

BACKGROUND/AIM Transient elastography (TE) of liver and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) allows accurate prediction of cirrhosis and its complications in patients with chronic liver disease. There is no study on prediction of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) using TE and HVPG in patients with cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive cirrhotic patients who never had an episode of...
