Brief Summary: Controlled and randomized study comparing combined treatment nadolol and endoscopic ligation versus nadolol associated with isosorbide mononitrate or prazosin according to hemodynamic response in the prevention of esofagic verices rebleeding
Detailed Description: The present is a prospective randomized open label study in parallel groups in which the patients with hemorrhage caused by esofagic varices will be randomized in two groups of treatment after control of acute hemorrhage

All the patients included will receive standard medical treatment with beta - blockers and endoscopic ligation of the esofagic varices

The control group will be constituted by the patients assigned to receive endoscopic ligation and nadolol N

The experimental group will be constituted by patients assigned to receive treatment according to the hemodynamic response

All patients included in the experimental group will receive pharmacologic treatment with nadolol combined with Isosorbide Mononitrate MNI or Prazosin PZ

In both groups it will practice a basal hepatic hemodynamic study in the 4th-5th day after their admitance after achieve hemodynamic stability for at least 48 h and with hemorrhage controlled and a second control hepatic hemodynamic study 3-4 weeks after the beginning of the pharmacologic treatment once adjusted doses

In the experimental group the responders to N MNI will keep on this treatment but nonrespondent in the hemodynamic study will switch treatment to N PZ and a third hepatic hemodynamic study will be performed 3 to 4 weeks after the dosage adjustement

The randomization will be stratified according to the degree of hepatic failure measured by Child-Pugh classification classes A and B versus C The design is random to avoid bias in the selection of the patients
