Correlation between mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary artery resistance values in 186 patients with liver cirrhosis complicated by portal hypertension. Blue, orange, and gray circles denote patients with Child–Pugh class A, B, and C, respectively. The vertical and horizontal broken lines indicate the pre‐revised criteria, whereas the vertical and horizontal solid lines indicate the 2022 ESC/ERS criteria. (formula image), Child–Pugh class A; (formula image), Child–Pugh class B; (formula image), Child–Pugh class C. PAP, pulmonary arterial pressure; PVR, pulmonary vascular resistance.
