Ingestion of a meal alters blood flow in the entire
mesenteric vasculature. The same accounts for portal
hypertension. The presented study evaluates changes in
blood flow alterations pre and post meal in patients
with portal hypertension and healthy volunteers. After a
meal cardiac output and thus flow in the supraceliac
aorta increases. However, changes in flow in patients
with portal hypertension and healthy subjects are
significantly different.
