Incremental prognostic value of echocardiographic markers of right ventricular function in acute pulmonary embolism: an individual patient data analysis
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major determinant of early mortality in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Among parameters at echocardiography,tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) reflects RV systolic function, whereas systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PASP) estimates RV afterload. The TAPSE/...
