Progressive right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which is contributed by RV ischemia leads to adverse clinical outcomes. Oxygen-sensitive (OS) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to determine the in vivo myocardial oxygenation of the left ventricle (LV). The aims of the present study were therefore to determine the feasibility of RV targeted rest/stress OS-CMR imaging in PAH patients and healthy volunteers.
