The cardiac parameters were positive predictors (EF; OR, 1.23, 95% CI, 1.028–1.471, p = 0.02 and BNP; OR, 1.01, 95% CI, 1.003–1.017, p = 0 .04) and esophageal/gastric varices was an independent negative predictor of an RVSP ≥ 36 mmHg (OR, 0.21, 95% CI, 0.070–0.611, p = 0.04). Here, NPPB is linked to Varicose veins.
