In addition, there was a clear trend towards lower RV/LV T2 ratios in patients with higher NYHA classes with significant differences between all classes (0.60 ± 0.10 vs. 0.51 ± 0.10 vs. 0.44 ± 0.11 vs. 0.38 ± 0.12, NYHA I–IV respectively) and HC (0.74 ± 0.05, all p < 0.001) as well as NYHA I versus other classes (p ≤ 0.012).
