Abstract In this 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) study, vortical blood flow in the main pulmonary artery (MPA) is quantified using circulation (ᴦ), a metric used in fluid dynamics to quantify the rotational components of flow. Circulation (ᴦ) is a 4D flow CMR metric that quantifies the vortical blood flow pattern in the MPA of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), distinguishes them from healthy controls, and shows high correlation with invasive markers of PH severity.
