Despite comparable haemodynamic profiles, patients with post-operative PAH had less functional limitation than their IPAH/HPAH counterparts. This is potentially related to the differential biventricular adaptation pattern evident on CMR with better myocardial contractility and higher left ventricular volumes in post-operative patients with PAH, highlighting the importance of ventriculo-ventricular interaction in the setting of PAH.
