| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate both pulmonary circulation and right ventricular function by radiographic and invasive hemodynamic methods in patients with pulmonary hypertension. We have reported that （1）enhanced [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in the right ventricular free wall predicts long-term prognosis of patients with pulmonary hypertension. We have also reported that in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, balloon pulmonary angioplasty improves (2) the severity of vortex flow in the main pulmonary artery assessed by four-dimensional magnetic resonance, (3) biventricular function and (4) systemic organ dysfunctions caused by right heart failure, associated with marked pulmonary hemodynamic improvements.
