Right ventricular adaptation to pulmonary pressure load in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after successful pulmonary endarterectomy - a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study
Conclusion:
RV function is largely determined by afterload and returns to normal once afterload is normalized. This is paralleled by a significant improvement of CMR indices of right ventricular remodelling.
