Late gadolinium enhanced imaging allows the assessment
of changes in the extra cellular compartment of
myocardial tissue related to pathophysiological
processes of oedema and fibrosis. This study shows that
LGE of the interventricular septum in patients with
pulmonary hypertension indicates a clinical phenotype
with patients having higher right ventricular volume and
worse outcome.
