Objective: The aims of the study were to assess the performance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived cardiac chamber volumes and volume ratios to identify group 2 pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients and to determine their cutoff values with the highest sensitivity and specificity.
Methods: One hundred six patients underwent CMR, 2 months after the diagnosis of PH by right heart catheterization. We classified patients with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of greater than 15 mm Hg as group 2 PH.
