Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) are diseases characterized by increased afterload of the right and left heart, respectively. Our study aims to investigate the differences of myocardial tissue characteristics in the pressure overloaded left and right hearts, especially in the shared interventricular septum, as detected by native T1 and T2 relaxation times.
