Cardiac magnetic resonance left ventricular filling pressure is linked to symptoms, signs and prognosis in heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) can be estimated from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). We aimed to investigate whether CMR-derived LVFP is associated with signs, symptoms, and prognosis in patients with recently diagnosed heart failure (HF).

Methods and results

This study recruited 454 patients diagnosed with HF who underwent same-day CMR and clinical assessment between February 2018 and January 2020. CMR-derived LVFP was calculated, as previously, from long- and short-axis cines. CMR-derived LVFP association with symptoms and signs of HF was investigated. Patients were followed for median 2.9 years (interquartile range 1.5-3.6 years) for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization, no
