20.500.12556/DiRROS-27801 Advances in the imaging of pulmonary hypertension Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex and progressive disorder characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressures leading to right ventricular dysfunction and increased morbidity and mortality. Non-invasive imaging, including echocardiography, computed tomography (CT) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and management of PH. The integration of these imaging modalities facilitates a multimodal approach to PH evaluation, enabling more precise diagnosis, improved phenotyping, and better-guided therapeutic decision-making. Echocardiography remains the first-line modality, offering valuable insights into pulmonary artery pressures, right ventricular size and function, and associated cardiac anomalies. Recent developments in speckle-tracking echocardiography and 3D imaging have enhanced its diagnostic and prognostic utility. CT imaging provides detailed evaluation of the pulmonary vasculature, parenchyma, and perfusion, which is essential in distinguishing PH subtypes. CMR is non-invasive, radiation free, and highly sensitive to changes in anatomy and function making it ideal for the long-term follow up of patients with PH. It offers in-depth evaluation of all cardiac chambers as well as pulmonary blood flow assessment and tissue characterisation. In this work we discuss current strengths, limitations, and future directions in these key imaging modalities used for the comprehensive assessment of PH. pulmonary hypertension imaging echocardiography pljučna hipertenzija slikovna diagnostika ehokardiografija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2026-02-25 10:39:52 2026-02-25 10:39:53 2026-02-26 03:55:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 21. 11. 2025; str. 1-14 Vol. 22, [article no.] 100619 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.1 2666-6685 10.1016/j.ijcchd.2025.100619 258072067 RAZ_Kacar_Polona_2025.pdf RAZ_Kacar_Polona_2025.pdf 1 CB8085CB590B315662B4C5D847D5DEE3 63056228a8d6a3c59c6e3373f768288fd49d845b9ae011a6fb4ebc6f2962d120 2692926e-122e-11f1-9cb0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40877 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcchd.2025.100619 0 33a16cc7-122e-11f1-9cb0-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=40878 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
