Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (A-C). Cine gradient echo short axis image (A) showing right ventricular hypertrophy and systolic flattening of the inter-ventricular septum in a 64 year old patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Corresponding tagged image (B) and graph (C) show reduced magnitude and delayed RV free wall peak shortening (red curve 1) compared to the septum (green curve 2) and LV lateral wall (blue curve 3).
