Synopsis

Keywords: Heart, Lung, Heart failure

The present study sought to determine whether CMR-derived lung water density (LWD) measurement in pulmonary congestion has prognostic relevance in predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality or HF-related hospitalization within 6 months from CMR.

It concluded -

1. The mean lung water density was significantly higher in heart failure patients compared to healthy controls.

2. Patients with “wet lungs” i.e., lung water density >18.1%, had higher incidence of adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to patients with “dry lungs”.

3. Lung water density was an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes
