RESUMEN
Cirrhotic portal hypertension can lead to changes in the cardiovascular system,including hyperdynamic circulation,increased cardiac output,increased splanchnic blood flow,increased heart rate,peripheral vasodilatation,decreased resistance,and a drop in blood pressure.This hemodynamic disorder not only plays an important role in the maintenance of portal hypertension,but also causes retention of sodium and water,ascites,hepatorenal syndrome,and hepatopulmonary syndrome.Recently,there is an increased interest in clinical research reports that suggest treatments for cirrhotic portal hypertension.Therapies involve internal medicine,interventional treatment,and surgery for preventing and controlling upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage,splenomegaly,hypersplenism,and other symptoms.Various treatments had some positive effects on the hyperdynamic circulatory state of the cardiovascular system.
