Risk factors for raised left ventricular filling pressure by cardiovascular magnetic resonance: Prognostic insights.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging shows promise in estimating pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) non-invasively. At the population level, the prognostic role of CMR-modelled PCWP remains unknown. Furthermore, the relationship between CMR-modelled PCWP and established risk factors for cardiovascular disease has not been well characterized.

Objective

The main aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of CMR-modelled PCWP at the population level.

Methods

Employing data from the imaging substudy of the UK Biobank, a very large prospective population-based cohort study, CMR-modelled PCWP was calculated using a model incorporating left atrial volume, left ventricular mass and sex. Logistic regression explored the relationships
