Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) revisited using CMR
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 any current problems TAPSE measurements may suffer from.

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion by cardiac MRI has poor correlation with RVEF in pediatric patients
Background Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) assessment of ventricular function in patients with RV pathology requires contouring the right ventricle, which can be time-consuming due to its abnormal shape and extensive trabeculations. A semi-quantitative method to assess RV function in this patient population would be beneficial and would allow for rapid reporting of results. A recent study demonstrated...
متن کاملValidation of echocardiographic indices of right ventriclular systolic function with cardiac magnetic resonance: a comparative study
Introduction Right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) is an important predictor of outcome in heart failure patients. Although cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) assessment of RV function is considered gold standard and echocardiographic measurement of RVEF is challenging due to its unique geometry; CMR still has limited availability in the wider community. Therefore alternative echocardiograph...

INTRODUCTION Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) has independent prognostic value in heart failure patients but may be influenced by left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. The present study assessed the association of TAPSE and clinical factors, global and regional LV function in 634 patients admitted for symptomatic heart failure. METHODS & RESULTS TAPSE were correlated with...

Background Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) correlate with the left and right ventricular (LV,RV) ejection fraction as well as with the prognosis of patients with heart failure. Furthermore, M/TAPSE are sensitive markers for impaired longitudinal function which can be the earliest marker of myocardial dysfunction in cardiomyo...
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...
