The digital version of the book can take this even further, offering zoom capabilities, enhanced image resolution, and the ability to view complex diagrams on high-definition screens.

Portal hypertension is a clinical syndrome characterized by increased pressure within the portal vein, which carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract, spleen, and pancreas to the liver.
