Echo-derived pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) and right ventricular (RV) tricuspid
annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE; from the end of diastole to end-systole) are of …

Aim To determine the prognostic relevance of the echocardiographic evaluation of
pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion …

Assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function can be somewhat difficult, particularly
in pulmonary hypertension (PH). RV fractional area change (FAC) and tricuspid valve …

Background: The prognostic importance of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in heart failure
(HF) has been suggested in patients with severe systolic heart failure. Tricuspid annular …

Background The ratio of echocardiography-derived tricuspid annular plane systolic
excursion (TAPSE) and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) has recently been …

Aims The aim of this study was to validate the tricuspid annular plane systolic
excursion/systolic pulmonary artery (PA) pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio with the invasive …

Background—Although right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major determinant of outcome
in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), the optimal measure of RV function is poorly …

Rationale: Right ventricular (RV) function is an important determinant of prognosis in
pulmonary hypertension. However, noninvasive assessment of the RV function is often …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate how right ventricular (RV) contractile function
and its coupling with pulmonary circulation (PC) stratify clinical phenotypes and outcome in …

BACKGROUND: The accuracy of echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV)
function has not been sufficiently validated in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) …
