Abstract
Highlights • Comprehensive synthesis of PET imaging for RV assessment in PH.• Multi-tracer PET imaging captures distinct RV pathophysiological domains.• Quantitative PET metrics are linked to disease severity and prognosis.• Methodological heterogeneity limits inter-study comparability and clinical translation.• Standardization is essential for clinical translation and prognostic use of PET in PH.
