article Full Article subject Summary summarize Notecard
  1. CMR-estimated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (CMR-PCWP) correlates with heart failure severity measures.
  2. Potential clinical applications for CMR-PCWP include estimating filling pressure as an alternative to echocardiography.
  3. Limitations of the study: small sample size, short follow-up duration, and lack of simultaneous TTE and CMR assessments.
