There is growing evidnence that dynamic contrast
enhanced (DCE) MR imaging measurements relate to
invasive haemodynamics and have clinical utility in the
assessment of patients with pulmonary hypertension. This
study develops the role of DCE MR imaging in this
patient group identifying independent associations with
key prognostic indicators such as right ventricular
characteristics and invasive haemodynamics measurements.
