Risk Factors for Raised Left Ventricular Filling Pressure by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance: Prognostic Insights

ESC Heart FailPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Raised CMR-modelled PCWP is an independent risk factor for incident HF and MACE.

Study context

Population
UK Biobank imaging substudy participants with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
Participants
39,163 participants
Exposure
Raised vs non-raised CMR-modelled pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP)
Outcome
Prognostic value of CMR-modelled PCWP for incident heart failure (HF) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)
Methodological detailspopulation-based, UK Biobank imaging substudy, CMR-modelled PCWP from left atrial volume, LV mass and sex
