Summary

This study tests whether carvedilol, a drug usually used for heart conditions, can lower high blood pressure in the liver's main vein to prevent dangerous bleeding in people with cirrhosis. About 30 adults with cirrhosis and signs of high liver pressure will take carvedilol for one month. Researchers will use a special ultrasound to measure pressure changes and check for side effects.
