Illustration of novel CMR derived measures for assessing right ventricular (RV) function in a patient with pulmonary hypertension. a: RVlat (RV lateral free wall, red full circle) in end-diastole (ED) at the AVP (atrio-ventricular plane, dashed line), b: RVlatAVP displacement (AVPDlat) in end-systole (ES) is marked with a white arrow, c: Time-resolution AVPD curve over one cardiac cycle, d: S’CMR (max emptying velocity) derived from the AVPD curve, FACCMR (fractional area change) derived from RV area in ED (e) and ES (f), FWSCMR (free wall strain) derived from tricuspid valve points (TV) and RV endocardial delineation (g) in a feature tracking algorithm (h) generating a longitudinal strain curve (i)
