E/A, early maximal filling velocity/late filling velocity; LVEDV, left ventricular end diastolic volume; LVESV, left ventricular end systolic volume; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; RVSP, right ventricular systolic pressure; SVR, systemic vascular resistance; TIPS, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

Baseline haemodynamic measures and the relative post‐TIPS percentage changes.
