Background The relationship between ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and left
ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection …

OBJECTIVES Describe changes in measures of right ventricular (RV) function in patients
treated for aortic stenosis using open-chest surgery (SAVR) or transcatheter treatment …

Objectives The authors defined a modified tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (m-
TAPSE) measurement using the transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) midesophogeal …

BACKGROUND Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) has become a popular
tool for assessing right ventricular (RV) systolic function because of its ease of application …

Background: In the descending arm of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE),
there is notch formation that corresponds to the contractile phase of the atrial strain curve …

Objective A substantial portion of the Indian cardiac surgery population experiences
rheumatic valve disease that progresses to severe pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in a …

Results Adequate echocardiographic imaging was obtained for all 20 patients. The TAPSE,
strain, and S0 measures remained depressed for up to one week (ie, day 6) after surgery …

In this issue of the journal, Dhawan et al. 13) investigated the usefulness of m-TAPSE in
assessing RV systolic function and compared m-TAPSE with both TAPSE (the most …

Background The relationship between ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and left
ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction …

Purpose Patients undergoing mitral valve surgery are at risk for right ventricular (RV)
dysfunction resulting from increased left atrial pressure and increased pulmonary artery …
