Differences in Pulmonary Artery Stiffness Measured by CMR in Preterm-Born Young Adults With and Without Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Preterm-born young adults with BPD show increased PA stiffness as measured by PWV compared with preterm-born young adults without BPD and at-term-born young adults; RAC was decreased in both preterm-born groups compared with at-term controls. This noninvasive method of measuring PA stiffness might be a valuable tool to identify individuals at risk for early signs of PA hypertension in this population.
