However, the strength and consistency of this association remain uncertain. This meta‐analysis aims to evaluate the relationship between LGE and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with PH.MethodsPubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were systematically searched from the inception of each database through March 28, 2025, for longitudinal observational studies reporting on the prognostic value of LGE detected by cardiac MRI in PH. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using a random‐effects model to account for between‐study heterogeneity.ResultsTen studies involving 733 patients were included. The presence of LGE on cardiac MRI was associated with a nonsignificant trend toward increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes (RR = 1.23, 95% CI: 0.99–1.54; p = 0.07; I2 = 40%). A similar result was observed in the sensitivity analysis restricted to high‐quality studies (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.98–1.36; p = 0.10; I2 = 14%). Subgroup analyses showed consistent trends across all stratifications, with no significant differences (all p > 0.05). No evidence of publication bias was detected.ConclusionLGE on cardiac MRI may be associated with adverse outcomes in patients with PH; however, the current evidence remains inconclusive. Further large‐scale, prospective studies are warranted to clarify its prognostic value. 10.1111/echo.70278 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
