LWD Lung water Density, measured by CMR cardiac magnetic resonance... predicts outcome in HF. with EF<50%. (LWD, %) was calculated as the ratio of lung to liver signal intensity multiplied by 70%, the estimated hepatic water density https://t.co/K0dAr
This study published in the Journal of CMR in 2019 describes a simple #whyCMR approach for quantifying pulmonary edema, a central feature of heart failure: https://t.co/5f1fUNlQsx @SCMRorg #CVimaging #cardiology #cardiologist #cardiotwitter https://t.co/d

Prospective Cohort: LWD💞was measured in 256 subjects, including 121 with heart failure🫀. increased CMR-derived lung water is associated with increased intra-cardiac filling pressures, and predicts 1 year outcomes☠️.https://t.co/Iie8neqqh6
