IntroductionRight ventricular (RV) fibrosis represents both adaptive and maladaptive responses to the overloaded RV condition. Its role in pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), which is the most common adult congenital heart disease (CHD), remains poorly understood.MethodsWe enrolled 65 participants aged ≥18 years old with uncorrected secundum ASD who had undergone clinically indicated right heart catheterization (RHC), divided into the non-PH group (n = 7), PH group (n = 42), and Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) group (n = 16). We conducted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) studies with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging, native T1 mapping, and extracellular volume (ECV) measurement to evaluate the extent and clinical correlates of RV fibrosis.ResultsLGE was present in 94% of the population and 86% of the non-PH group, mostly located at the right ventricular insertion point (RVIP) regions. LGE in the septal and inferior RV region was predominantly observed in the ES group compared to the other groups (p = 0.031 and p |
