Pulmonary hypertension has a poor prognosis. Invasive right heart catheter measured mean pulmonary artery pressure (RHC-MPAP) is the gold standard for clinical diagnosis. Here we present a parametric model derived from cardio-pulmonary MRI for the prediction of pulmonary hypertension with a strong correlation with RHC-MPAP and a high diagnostic accuracy. In certain patients, right heart catheterisation may be avoided due to high specificity of this cardio-pulmonary MR model.
