What is the most likely diagnosis?

(A)

Pulmonary hypertension with right ventricular hypertrophy/failure

(B)

Pulmonary hypertension with normal right ventricular function

(C)

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia

(D)

Myocarditis

The correct answer is pulmonary hypertension with right ventricular failure. The pulmonary artery is dilated in the HASTE images. Pulmonary artery greater than 3 cm, indicates likely pulmonary hypertension. The images of the right ventricle demonstrate severe dilation and dysfunction seen with end-stage pulmonary hypertension [12]. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia would not cause dilation of the main pulmonary artery. Myocarditis can affect the right ventricle, but should not affect the pulmonary artery.
