Can Echocardiography, Especially Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion Measurement, Predict Pulmonary Hypertension and Improve Prognosis in Patients on Long-Term Dialysis?
In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to pulmonary hypertension (PH) as a strong and independent risk factor for adverse outcome in the population of patients on long-term dialysis. Published results of observational studies indicate that the problem of PH refers mostly to patients on long-term hemodialysis and is less common in peritoneal dialysis patients. The main cause of this...
متن کاملMitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion and Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion in Cats with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is associated with increased risk of death in cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Mitral and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE and TAPSE, respectively) are measures of longitudinal systolic function and are reduced in human patients with HCM. HYPOTHESES Cats with HCM have lower MAPSE and TAPSE compared to control c...
متن کاملFollow-up tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion predicts survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Few studies have examined the utility of serial echocardiography in the evaluation, management, and prognosis of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Therefore, we sought to evaluate the prognostic significance of follow-up tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) in PAH. We prospectively studied 70 consecutive patients with PAH who underwent baseline right heart cathe...
متن کاملTricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) predicts poor outcome in patients undergoing acute pulmonary embolectomy
INTRODUCTION Right ventricular failure remains a major cause of mortality during acute pulmonary embolism. Right ventricular function can be assessed with transesophageal echocardiography. However, due to the complex right ventricular anatomy, only a few echocardiographic parameters are reliable and easily obtainable intraoperatively. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion is a validated pa...
متن کاملTricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) revisited using CMR
Background The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), which has been used for over a quarter century as a quick estimate of RV systolic function, was revisited using CMR. It shows good correlation with invasive hemodynamics. MRI is the current gold standard to assess the volumes and anatomy of the heart and we can measure TAPSE more precisely with cardiac MRI to accurately detect a...
