Abstract

Adam Torbicki, MD, PhD ight years ago, van Wolferen et al published a landmark determined in PAH by more complex mechanisms than just Earticle reporting the prognostic significance of cardiac afterload. This hypothesis was indirectly supported by a trial magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging of the right ventricle in which 76 patients with newly diagnosed PAH underwent (RV) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A low stroke baseline cardiac MRI repeated at 1 year. When measured at volume, RV dilatation, and impaired left ventricular filling baseline, both RV ejection fraction and PVR were predictors assessed by CMR were independent predictors of mortality of mortality.
