Narrative review integrating cardiovascular physiology and clinical applications of portal vein Doppler.
Description of technical aspects of portal vein Doppler measurement, including probe positioning and anatomical landmarks.
Discussion of portal flow patterns under various haemodynamic conditions and their clinical implications.
Portal vein Doppler characteristics are influenced by right ventricular pressure and systemic venous compliance.
Findings suggest portal vein pulsatility can guide assessments of volume status and venous congestion.
Current evidence is mainly observational, requiring further multicentre validation studies for clinical guidelines.
