Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Derived Left Ventricular Eccentricity Index and Right Ventricular Mass Measurements Predict Outcome in Children with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Derived Left Ventricular Eccentricity Index and Right Ventricular Mass Measurements Predict Outcome in Children with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with increased right ventricular (RV) afterload, affecting RV remodeling and RV performance, a major determinant of outcome in PAH-patients. In children with PAH, treatment strategy is guided by risk stratification where noninvasive prognosticators...
