Abstract
Purpose Right ventricular (RV) function is the most important determinant of survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), thus monitoring of RV function is critical. However, RV regional function assessment is challenging using current MR tagging techniques. Thus, the purpose was to evaluate regional longitudinal ventricular deformation (ELL) acquired by free breathing single heart-beat fast strain encoded imaging (fast-SENC) in relation to global ventricular dysfunction markers and pulmonary hemodynamics in PH patients.
