A member asked:

Do you always get right sided heart failure with portal hypertension?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Portal hypertension is due to obstruction of flow of blood through the liver on its way back to the r heart. High pressures in the r heart may be reflected back to the liver causing portal hypertension but not the other way round.
