Excerpt
Mitral and Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (MAPSE, TAPSE) add valuable information to functional assessment of the right and left heart, highlighting abnormality even when ejection fraction is normal. To date, CMR-equivalents of MAPSE and TAPSE have been variably measured by a number of different methods but no formally published CMR guidelines on methodology, or normal values, exist. Further evaluation is required. The feasibility of a simple and quick technique is assessed in terms of its reproducibility, in order to provide age-stratified normal values. …
