P593Oxygen sensitive cardiac magnetic resonance in demonstrating myocardial ischaemia of the right ventricle in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension
Abstract:Background
Progressive right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a natural progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. The main contributor to progressive RV dysfunction is RV ischemia. Oxygen-sensitive (OS) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to determine the in-vivo myocardial oxygenation of the left ventricle (LV).
