NCT ID NCT05624242
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether cardiac MRI can accurately measure right heart function in 112 people with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Researchers compared MRI results with data from invasive heart catheterization. The goal was to see if MRI could be used to monitor disease and predict outcomes like need for transplant or death.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors use MRI instead of invasive catheterization to monitor heart function in pulmonary hypertension patients.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not change current practice if MRI does not prove reliable enough to replace invasive testing.
