Furthermore, the aim is to explore hemodynamic differences between cirrhotic patients and healthy subjects.\n\nStudy design and cohort:\n\nThe study has a cross-sectional design and a cohort with 99 patients with liver cirrhosis - with and without complications and 27 healthy volunteers. The patients are recruited at the Gastrounit Hvidovre University Hospital.\n\nThe day before the first visit patients are hospitalized and fasting overnight. At first visit liver vein catheterization (LVC) and echocardiography are performed. Second visit must be performed within 4 weeks after first visit. At the second visit patients are fasting minimum 6 hours before having MR-flow scanning, cardiac-MR and MR-Elastography (MR-E).\n\nThe healthy volunteers are only offered MR-flow scanning, cardiac MR and MR-E as well as urine- and blood tests\n\nFollow-up for liver-related clinical outcome and mortality in medical records', 'detailedDescription': 'MR elastography, cardiac scan, phase contrast MRI of blood flow compared to LVC'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '82 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'A cohort with 99 cirrhotic patients with and without complications and 27 healthy volunteers.
