Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) causes pressure overload on the right ventricle and when untreated leads to progressive right ventricular dysfunction. Delayed contrast MRI can identify areas of myocardial infarction and myocardial fibrosis related to various cardiomyopathies. Delayed contrast magnetic resonance images in the short axis plane in 3 patients with PAH (Figure, A, idiopathic; ...
متن کاملCardiac magnetic resonance imaging in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) provides accurate information about right ventricular (RV) mass, RV volumes and other markers of RV function. CMRI is proving to be a particularly useful tool in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), as measures of RV function have been shown to be prognostic of long-term outcomes in this disease. Changes in RV function can also provide important infor...
متن کاملSevere Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Comprehensive Evaluation by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, which negatively affects the right ventricular (RV) function. This report shows a patient with severe PAH, on whom a comprehensive MRI exam was performed to evaluate both PA and RV. New imaging sequences were implemented for obtaining additional parameters about the patient's condition. The result...
متن کاملRole of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the management of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive disorder characterized by abnormally elevated blood pressure of the pulmonary circulation that results, over time, from extensive vascular remodeling and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Recent advances in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology have led to the development of techniques for noninvasive assessment of cardiovascul...
