Editorial for “Corrected MRI Pulmonary Transit Time for Identification of Combined Pre and PostCapillary Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients With Left Heart Disease”
Abstract:P ulmonary hypertension (PH) is confirmed by the presence of elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP). The sixth World Symposium revised PH definition recommends a mPAP >20 mmHg on supine right heart catheterization (RHC) during resting conditions. 1 However, mPAP in isolation is not accurate enough to characterise the underlying disease. PH can be caused by various conditions, each with specific management strategies and outcomes, including cardiac output increase, hyperviscosity, pulmonary vascular d… Show more
