Supports shared hyperdynamic circulation in hypertensive cirrhotics; leaves open impact of reduced compliance on outcomes.
Do cirrhotic patients with arterial hypertension exhibit the same hyperkinetic and hypovolaemic circulatory dysfunction as normotensive cirrhotic patients?
Cirrhotic patients with arterial hypertension share the hyperkinetic and central hypovolaemic state of normotensive cirrhotics, but exhibit reduced vasodilation and better preserved liver function.
Henriksen et al. (2006) studied this question.
