Pulmonary hypertension is a condition of varied etiology, commonly associated with poor
clinical outcome. Patients are categorized on the basis of pathophysiological, clinical …

Pulmonary vascular dysfunction (PVD) precedes the onset of clinical signs and symptoms of
pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH is defined by the elevation of pulmonary arterial …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to determine the prognostic value of late gadolinium
enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features in patients with pulmonary …

Background—Variations in longitudinal deformation of the left ventricle have been
suggested to be useful for differentiating chronic constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive …

Purpose To evaluate influence of variation in spatio‐temporal resolution and scan‐rescan
reproducibility on three‐dimensional (3D) visualization and quantification of arterial and …

Objectives In this pilot study we explored whether contrast-material bolus propagation time
and speed in the pulmonary arteries (PAs) determined by dynamic contrast-enhanced …

Background We aimed to assess whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is
associated with expansion of the myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) using T1 …

Background The diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for
pulmonary hypertension (PH) compared with right heart catheterization were assessed. The …

Background Pulmonary arteries are not just affected by thrombus. Congenital and acquired
conditions can also involve the pulmonary arteries. An awareness of these conditions is …

This review explores the historical development of conductance catheterization of the
human right ventricle (RV) and its current diagnostic role in assessing RV function in an era …
