Integrated use of cardiac MRI and the CardioMEMS™ HF system in PAH: the utility of coincident pressure and volume in RV failure-the NHLBI-VITA trial.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aims to study the feasibility and safety of measuring volumetric and pressure parameters noninvasively using simultaneous cardiovascular magnetic resonance (cMR) volumetric data and time-resolved pressure waveforms from previously implanted CardioMEMS devices in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients. Opportunities to intervene during clinically occult phases in PAH promise to herald a key transformation in our current practice for treating this complex population. Currently, it is possible and convenient to monitor daily pulmonary arterial (PA) pressures in PAH patients using the CardioMEMS device to determine clinically silent progression. Supplementation of these pressures with other prognostic measurements of right ventricular (RV) contractility, PA resistance and RV/PA coupling could add further predictive capabilities.
methodsPAH patients (n=17) with New York Hospital Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure (HF) and recent HF related hospitalizations were implanted with the CardioMEMS device as part of a NHLBI sponsored Trial. Implanted patients were then assessed using cMR imaging of the right ventricle (RV) along with measurement of pulmonary artery flow. Patients were imaged at one-month post implant (baseline) and at 4-month follow-up time (n=12). At baseline, patients were studied at rest and then under three different physiologic conditions: inhaled nitric oxide (INO), dobutamine (Dob) stress and volumetric stress (Vol), using a multiple slice short-axis imaging and a rapid imaging protocol.
resultsAll patients were safely imaged, with no artifacts obscuring the cMR images. RV volumes were measured successfully at rest and under each stress condition using a reduced scan approach that required calibration for each patient which achieved a correlation r
conclusionsIt is safe and feasible to perform cMR imaging with simultaneous pulmonary artery pressure readings from the CardioMEMS device. A reduced scan approach was developed to allowed measurement of RV volumes during stress conditions. Volumetric and pressure measurements can be combined to assess fundamental myocardial properties (e.g., Emax, Ea and VVC) in PAH patients serially over time. In the future, these parameters can be tested as serial predictors of outcome and response to therapies in PAH.
