Mashup Score: 17
Conventional echocardiographic parameters such as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), fractional area change (FAC), and free-wall longitudinal strain (FWLS) offer limited insights into the complexity of right ventricular (RV) systolic function, while 3D echocardiography-derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF) enables a comprehensive assessment. We investigated the discordance between TAPSE, FAC, FWLS, and RVEF in RV systolic function grading and associated outcomes.

Answer: close to 50%. Unfortunately, conventional 2D parameters are only modestly associated with RVEF-based assessment, but still may have predictive value, especially when combined. An important study below https://t.co/KyJ1EwrNdA @ASE360 @denisamuraru
