Semi-quantitative assessment of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease through myocardial perfusion imaging.

CONCLUSION: Semi-quantitative MPI has high diagnostic value in evaluating the severity level of pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with congenital heart disease. The diagnostic performance of MPI at pre-treatment patients was superior to that at post-treatment. More cases need to be included for further study.
