Summary

This study tested whether a special MRI (4D flow) can accurately measure blood pressure in the lungs without the need for a heart catheter, which carries small risks. Twenty-eight adults with pulmonary hypertension had both tests and an ultrasound, and researchers compared the results. The goal is to find a safer, non-invasive way to diagnose and monitor this serious condition.
