Why the study?
Is arterial compliance altered in patients with cirrhosis compared to controls, and can the SV/PP ratio serve as a simplified index?
Population
49 patients with cirrhosis and 19 control subjects
Comparison
Measurement of arterial compliance (C) and… vs Control subjects (n=19)
Design
Case-control

SV/PP may simplify arterial compliance assessment in cirrhosis; leaves open its prognostic or therapeutic value.
Is arterial compliance altered in patients with cirrhosis compared to controls, and can the SV/PP ratio serve as a simplified index?
Arterial compliance is elevated in cirrhosis, and the simplified stroke volume-pulse pressure index (SV/PP) effectively reflects these abnormalities.
Henriksen et al. (2001) studied this question.
