Abstract
- AIM To correlate 3-D Echo and CMR RV parameters and to verify whether they are similarly related to the clinical conditions of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a disease in which the RV plays a crucial prognostic role. METHODS We enrolled 34 consecutive PAH patients followed by our PAH clinics. All patients underwent a 3-D Echo and CMR assessment of RV volumes and functions in the same day. The presence or absence of correlation between major findings was investigated; functional RV parameters were also analyzed in relation to 6-min walking test (6MWT) results and BNP/Nt-proBNP plasma levels. Twenty-four subjects served as controls. RESULTS Good agreement was found between 3-D Echo and CMR measures of RV volumes [RV-end-diastolic volume (r = 0.72, P
