Thoracic MRI is helpful in the differential diagnosis of [[pulmonary hypertension]] as well as in the evaluation of the right ventricle function. It provides important prognostic indicators when assessing the right ventricle in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Findings that predict poor prognosis are: [[stroke volume]] ≤25ml/m^2, right ventricular [[end-diastolic volume]] ≥84ml/m^2 and left ventricvular [[end-diastolic volume]] ≤40ml/m^2.

Due to the important prognostic indicators of the function of the right ventricle in patients with PAH. Cardiac MR is performed in some patients to:
*Detection of shunts contributing to pulmonary hypertension.
 
1-Accurately evaluate the size, morphology and function of the right ventricle.
MRI has similar abilities to those of echocardiography in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension.
 
2-Detect shunts contributing to pulmonary hypertension.
   
   
3-Detect acute and chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease.
*Detection of acute and chronic pulmonary [[thromboembolic]] disease.
 
4-Distinguish between the pulmonary vasculature and mediastinal adenopathy when used with contrast enhancement.

Overview

Thoracic MRI is helpful in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension as well as in the evaluation of the right ventricle function. It provides important prognostic indicators when assessing the right ventricle in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Findings that predict poor prognosis are: stroke volume ≤25ml/m^2, right ventricular end-diastolic volume ≥84ml/m^2 and left ventricvular end-diastolic volume ≤40ml/m^2.

Key MRI Findings in Pulmonary Hypertension

A MRI is useful for:[1][2][3][4][5]

  • Accurate evaluation of the size, morphology and function of the right ventricle.
    • A MRI has similar abilities to those of an echocardiography in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension.
  • Detection of shunts contributing to pulmonary hypertension.
  • Follow-up for right heart hemodynamics.
    • Poor right ventricular function is indicated by the following according to the ACCF/AHA 2009 expert consensus document on pulmonary hypertension:
  • Pulmonary artery stiffness measured by relative cross sectional area change ≤16% also has implications on mortality rate.

MRI Limitations include

  • Inability to perform breath hold
  • Limited availability and cost
  • Difficulty in assessing PA pressures
