Does right ventricular strain analysis by CMR feature tracking predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients evaluated for pulmonary hypertension?
Right ventricular strain analysis using CMR feature tracking is feasible and provides independent prognostic value for adverse outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
