Non-invasive Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging of the Right Heart and Pulmonary Circulation in Pulmonary Hypertension

Non-invasive Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging of the Right Heart and Pulmonary Circulation in Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as resting mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) ≥25 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) via right heart (RH) catheterization (RHC), where increased afterload in the pulmonary arterial vasculature leads to alterations in RH structure and function. Mortality rates h...
