Ingestion of a meal alters blood flow in the entire mesenteric vasculature. The same accounts for portal hypertension. The presented study evaluates changes in blood flow alterations pre and post meal in patients with portal hypertension and healthy volunteers. After a meal cardiac output and thus flow in the supraceliac aorta increases. However, changes in flow in patients with portal hypertension and healthy subjects are significantly different.
