Why the study?
Does phase-contrast MR imaging of vortical blood flow in the main pulmonary artery allow accurate diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension?
Does phase-contrast MR imaging of vortical blood flow in the main pulmonary artery allow accurate diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension?
Phase-contrast MR imaging of vortical blood flow in the main pulmonary artery provides a non-invasive method to accurately estimate elevated mPAP and diagnose pulmonary hypertension.
May support non-invasive PH diagnosis via MR vortical flow; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Duration of vortical blood flow in the main pulmonary artery that is determined by using phase-contrast MR imaging allows accurate estimation of elevated mPAP and diagnosis of PH. Clinical trial registration no. NCT00575692.
