## Abstract ## Purpose To assess the accuracy of several noninvasive MRIβbased estimators of pulmonary artery pressure by comparing them with invasive pressure measurement. ## Materials and Methods We compared five MRI methods with invasive pressure measurement by catheterization, in one group o
The response of arterial blood pressure to an increase in intrathoracic pressure has been shown to be predictive of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. We devised a new method, which we termed the arterial pressure ratio. We defined arterial pressure ratio as the ratio of systolic blood pressure of
