Predictors of right ventricular function as measured by tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in heart failure
Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 11/05/09

Kjaergaard J et al. – TAPSE is reduced with left ventricular dysfunction in heart failure patients, in particular with reduced septal longitudinal motion. TAPSE is decreased in patients with heart failure of ischemic etiology. However, the absolute reduction in TAPSE is small and seems to be of minor importance in the clinical utilization of TAPSE whether applied as a measure of right ventricular systolic function or as a prognostic factor.
