Abstract:Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is usually measured with M‐mode using sector line, however, this may not align with the anatomical shortening of the right ventricular (RV). In this study, we compared the different methods to measure TAPSE using three different reference lines (sector line, anatomical line, and apico‐annular line). We included 148 patients diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) who underwent TTE and right heart catheterization within 2 weeks of each other. TAPSE… Show more
