Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure relationship in heart failure: an index of right ventricular contractile function and prognosis

TLDR
This study shows that the TAPSE vs. PASP relationship is shifted downward in nonsurvivors with a similar distribution in HFrEF and HFpEF, and their ratio improves prognostic resolution.
Abstract
Echo-derived pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) and right ventricular (RV) tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE; from the end of diastole to end-systole) are of basic relevanc...

Evaluation and Management of Right-Sided Heart Failure: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

TL;DR: RHF is a complex syndrome including diverse causes, pathways, and pathological processes and multiple hemodynamic and biochemical markers are associated with worsening RHF and can serve to guide clinical assessment and therapeutic decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI

Right heart dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

TL;DR: Right heart dysfunction is common in HFpEF and is caused by both RV contractile impairment and afterload mismatch from pulmonary hypertension, and may represent a novel therapeutic target.

RV Contractile Function and its Coupling to Pulmonary Circulation in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction : Stratification of Clinical Phenotypes and Outcomes

TL;DR: A thorough assessment of RV-PC coupling and RV contractile function stratify HFpEF phenotypes at different level of risk revealed the TAPSE/PASP ratio emerged as an independent predictor of worse outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure: Pathophysiology, Pathobiology, and Emerging Clinical Perspectives.

TL;DR: Attention is focused on establishing a definitive consensus for a hemodynamic definition, perhaps incorporating exercise and fluid challenge, and searching for effective therapies that may benefit lung vessels and the remodeled right ventricle.

Right heart dysfunction and failure in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: mechanisms and management. Position statement on behalf of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the prevalence, diagnosis, and pathophysiology of right heart dysfunction and failure in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and discussed potential treatment strategies, important knowledge gaps and future directions regarding the right side in HFpEF.

Independent and additive prognostic value of right ventricular systolic function and pulmonary artery pressure in patients with chronic heart failure

TL;DR: It was found that RVEF was preserved in some patients with pulmonary hypertension, and that the prognosis of these patients was similar to that of the patients with normal PAP, which emphasize the necessity of combining the right heart hemodynamic variables with a functional evaluation of the RV when trying to define the individual risk of patients with heart failure.

Pulmonary Hypertension in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Community-Based Study

TL;DR: Although pulmonary venous HTN contributes to PH, it does not fully account for the severity of PH in HFpEF, suggesting that a component of pulmonary arterial HTN also contributes.

Tricuspid annular displacement predicts survival in pulmonary hypertension.

TL;DR: TAPSE powerfully reflects RV function and prognosis in PAH and persisted after adjusting for other echocardiographic and hemodynamic variables and baseline treatment status.
