This review outlines clinical imaging methods for evaluating the function and stiffness of the pulmonary artery in the context of pulmonary hypertension.
May inform imaging choices for pulmonary artery assessment in PH; leaves open prospective validation of stiffness metrics.
Recently, there has been much debate about pulmonary hypertension due to modern therapeutic options available. Arterial hypertension is frequently associated with stiffening of a given artery. The aim of the present review is to present clinical imaging methods for the evaluation of the function and stiffness of the pulmonary artery.
