Clinical Study

Assessment of Haemodynamic Response to Nonselective Beta-Blockers in Portal Hypertension by Phase-Contrast Magnetic Resonance Angiography

Figure 2

Individual PC-MRA derived blood flow measurements in heart rate responders at baseline and after 4 weeks of NSBB therapy (). There was a significant reduction in the blood flow in superior and inferior aorta after 4 weeks of NSBB therapy ( and 0.010, resp.). The changes in flow in all other vessels were not statistically significant. Data analysed by paired t-test.
