✦ Synopsis

A comprehensive CMR exam was developed for evaluating right ventricle (RV) and pulmonary artery (PA), and was tested on 25 PA hypertension (PAH) patients. Standard non-CMR measurements were also collected. Comprehensive statistical analysis was conducted to study relationships between parameters, parameters' significance, and data redundancy and reduction. The results showed strong correlations between most RV and PA parameters; and between most MRI parameters and gold standard PA pressure. In conclusion, RV and PA are coupled and affected in PAH. Both entities should be evaluated and interpreted together.
