“…[66][67][68][69][70] Assessment of longitudinal RV lateral wall performance can be performed through M-mode, 2-dimensional, tissue Doppler, and deformation imaging. Of these, tricuspid annular planar excursion (TAPSE) is most easily measured and accessible and has been evaluated in adult PAH.…”

Abstract-Pulmonary hypertension is associated with diverse cardiac, pulmonary, and systemic diseases in neonates, infants, and older children and contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. However, current approaches to caring for pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension have been limited by the lack of consensus guidelines from experts in the field. In a joint effort from the American Heart Association and American Thoracic Society, a panel of experienced clinicians and clinician-scientists was assembled to review the current literature and to make recommendations on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of pediatric pulmonary hypertension. This publication presents the results of extensive literature reviews, discussions, and formal scoring of recommendations for the care of children with pulmonary hypertension.

“…Longitudinal systolic strain measurement is also especially well suited to assess RV function because RV contractility predominantly occurs in the longitudinal plane due to the principal orientation of myocardial fibers. 33 Previous studies have demonstrated feasibility for measuring RV strain using speckle-tracking echocardiography in PH 34,35 and other causes of RV dysfunction. [36][37][38][39] However, these studies included limited numbers of patients with PH.…”

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 defined. We hypothesized that RV strain measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography predicts outcome in PH over a broad range of pulmonary pressures. Methods and Results-Prospective peak RV longitudinal systolic strain measurement was performed on 575 patients (mean age, 56±18 years; 63% women) referred for echocardiography for known or suspected PH. Survival status was assessed over a median of 16.5 (interquartile range, 7.6-20.0) months. There were 406 patients with PH (71%) (74% group 1, 14% group 3, and 12% group 4) and 169 patients without evidence of PH (29%). Among patients with PH, 46% were World Health Organization functional class III-IV. The mean RV strain was −21.2±6.7% for all patients. RV strain declined with worse functional class, shorter 6-minute walk distances, higher N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels, and the presence of right heart failure. RV strain predicted outcome across pulmonary pressures and groups of PH. Eighteenmonth survival was 92%, 88%, 85%, and 71% according to RV strain quartile (P<0.001), with a 1.46 higher risk of death (95% confidence interval, 1.05-2.12) per 6.7% decline in RV strain. RV strain predicted survival when adjusted for pulmonary pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and right atrial pressure and provided incremental prognostic value over conventional clinical and echocardiographic variables. Conclusions-Quantitative

“…The longitudinal contribution to total RV output has been shown to be approximately 80% owing to a predominantly longitudinal muscle fibre orientation. [7][8][9] For this reason, TAPSE, a measure of longitudinal displacement, has become popular in the rapid and simple assessment of RV function. [10][11][12] Tricuspid annular systolic plane excursion is independent of age, sex, and body size 11 ; however, it remains dependent on LV function.…”

Purpose This study was designed to show the relationship between tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and stroke volume (SV) by thermodilution using three different methods and also to assess whether TAPSE can track hemodynamic changes associated with volume loading and ephedrine administration. Methods This was an observational study in 61 elective patients with a pulmonary artery catheter who were undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery in a cardiac surgical centre. We measured TAPSE by three methods using transesophageal echocardiography: M mode, speckle tracking at the lateral wall, and tissue tracking at the inferior wall. There were two interventions: leg raising (volume recruitment) or administration of ephedrine 5 mg iv. Echo and hemodynamic measurements were performed before and after each intervention.Results Eleven patients were excluded due to poor imaging. There were 26 patients in the leg raising group and 24 patients in the ephedrine group. The correlation coefficient between stroke volume (SV) and TAPSE by M mode, speckle tracking, and tissue tracking was 0.48, 0.44, and 0.09, respectively. There was a significant increase in SV following each intervention; however, the changes in TAPSE by any method and velocity were not large enough to reach statistical significance. Conclusion Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion by M mode and by speckle tracking correlates modestly with SV. There was no correlation between TAPSE and SV by tissue tracking at the inferior wall of the right ventricle. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion by M mode and by speckle tracking does not track changes in SV following either volume loading or ephedrine administration.
