Ask the Experts: CMR-guided right heart catheterisation

With Marco Jan Wilhelm Gotte and Marielle Van de Veerdonk, Amsterdam University Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Ross Thomson, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK. In this episode of EACVI CardioTalk, Ross Thomson interviews Marco Gotte and Marielle van de Veerdonk, cardiac MRI experts and pioneers in CMR-guided interventional procedures. They discuss the practicalities, advantages and pitfalls of CMR-guided right heart catheterisation, how this technique can be used to construct atrial and ventricular pressure-volume loops, and how these data can provide unique insights into the pathophysiology of heart disease.
