Excerpt

Volumetric assessment of the right ventricle (RV) by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR), albeit time-consuming, provides accurate and reproducible measurement of RV ejection fraction (RVEF). Tricuspid annulus peak systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a predominantly Echo-validated rapidly-derived surrogate of RV function. Correlations between RVEF and systolic changes in annulo-apical angles (AAAs) have not previously been evaluated. …
