Abstract:

Objective

To study the role of cardiac magnetic resonance in the evaluation of pulmonary hypertension.

Methods

From June 2012 to October 2018, 25 patients with pulmonary hypertension who were admitted to the General Hospital of Xinjiang Military Command, Urumqi, China, and were able to tolerate the right heart floating catheter examination were selected for this study. Each patient was subjected to a right heart floating catheter examination and a heart magnetic resonance examination. The related indicators of the right heart floating catheter examination and cardiac magnetic resonance examination were measured respectively and the relevance was analyzed.

Results

In order to eliminate the influence of individual differences on the anatomical data, the inner diameter of the pulmonary trunk, the inner diameter of the right pulmonary trunk and the thickness of the anterior wall of the right ventricle measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were compared with the transverse diameter of the right diaphragm top plane. The results of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that there existed significant differences between the inner diameter of the pulmonary trunk/the transverse diameter of the right diaphragm top plane (MPA/T), the inner diameter of the right pulmonary trunk/the transverse diameter of the right diaphragm top plane (RAP), and the thickness of the anterior wall of the right ventricle/the transverse diameter of the right diaphragm top plane (RVW/T) between the experimental group and the control group (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP), the pulmonary arterial mean pressure (PAMP) and the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) between the experimental group and the control group (P<0.05). The correlation analysis of the anatomical indexes, MPA/T, RAP/T, RVW/T, and PASP, PAMP and PVR showed that except for RAP/T and PVR (P>0.01), the P values of the rest indicators were less than 0.01, indicating that MPA/T and RAP/T were positively correlated with PASP, PAMP and PVR, and RVW/T was positively correlated with PASP and PAMP.

Conclusion

The anatomical indexes, MPA/T, RAP/T, and RVW/T, obtained from cardiac magnetic resonance examination, can be used to evaluate the presence or absence of pulmonary arterial hypertension and assess the degree of pulmonary arterial hypertension, it has important clinical significance.

Key words: Pulmonary hypertension, Right heart floating catheter examination, Cardiac magnetic resonance, Clinical significance
