TAPSE/sPAP Ratio Associated with Increased Mortality in Subjects With and Without Cardiovascular Comorbidities- Insights from a Tertiary Center Database.
BACKGROUND Tricuspid-annular-plane-systolic-excursion (TAPSE)- systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) ratio is an emerging parameter of right-ventricle and pulmonary circulation coupling. OBJECTIVES To elucidate a TAPSE/sPAP threshold associated with increased mortality in consecutive subjects, with and without ca...
