Purpose This study examines the hepatic extracellular volume fraction (ECV) disparity between the left and right lobes (ECV_left and ECV_right) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), its association with right heart catheterization (RHC) metrics, and with intolerance to increased pulmonary hypertension (PH)-targeted...
