P73 THE ASSESSMENT OF PULMONARY ARTERY STIFFNESS IN COPD USING CARDIAC MRI THE Q/A METHOD
Background: Pulmonary artery distensibility and pulsatility has been studied in patients with COPD using cardiac MRI (CMRI) (1). However, pulmonary artery pulse wave velocity (PA- PWV) using ‘QA’ method (2) in CMRI has not been studied in this population. We hypothesized that patients with COPD have...
