Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an intricate medical issue resulting from increased pressure in the pulmonary artery (PA). The current gold standard for diagnosis involves an invasive procedure known as right heart catheterization. Nevertheless, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) offers a non-invasive and valuable alternative for evaluating the function, structure, and blood flow through the pulmonary artery (PA) in both the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV). Additionally, cMRI can be a good tool for predicting mortality by assessing various hemodynamic parameters. We perceive that cMRI may be an underutilized tool in the evaluation of PH. More discussions might be needed to highlight its utility in patients with PH. This article aims to discuss the potential role of cMRI in evaluating PH based on the review of recent literature.
