Conclusions
Native T1-values of the interventricular insertion regions are increased compared to native T1- values of the LV free wall, RV free wall and interventricular septum in patients with precapillary PH and are related to disease severity. Native-T1 values are not different between IPAH, PAH-SSc and CTEPH patients. Native T1-mapping can be an alternative for the characterization of the interventricular insertion regions without the use of contrast agents.
