Left atrial acceleration factor as a magnetic resonance 4D flow measure of mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure in pulmonary hypertension

BackgroundMean pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) represents a right heart catheter (RHC) surrogate measure for mean left atrial (LA) pressure and is crucial for the clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Hypothesizing that PAWP is related to acceleration of blood throughout the...
