Recorded On: 11/09/2018
There has been no new drug class in the treatment of portal hypertension in over 25 years. But recent advancements in our understanding of the pathophysiology of portal hypertension and its potential regression have informed development of oninvasive biomarkers and revealed exciting new targets for therapy. This program will discuss key developments in the basic biology of portal hypertension and how this knowledge is being applied to develop novel biomarkers and therapeutic approaches for portal hypertension.
