ABSTRACT
The formation of cirrhotic portal hypertension depends on the increase in intrahepatic vascular resistance and the state of hyperdynamic circulation. The specific effect of carvedilol in reducing intrahepatic vascular resistance has a better effect in alleviating portal hypertension in theory. This article summarizes the known and possible mechanisms of carvedilol in reducing portal hypertension and reviews the latest research advances in the role of carvedilol in the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension. It is pointed out that carvedilol is expected to become the core drug in the treatment of cirrhotic portal hypertension, and statins may be their best partner.
