Key result
MAPSE detects early LV longitudinal systolic dysfunction despite normal LVEF.
Why the study?
Despite its usefulness across various heart diseases and ease of acquisition in patients with poor image quality, MAPSE remains an underused index in clinical practice.
This review highlights the clinical utility of MAPSE as a simple and reproducible echocardiographic marker of left ventricular function, advocating for its broader use in clinical practice.
tracking in two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography.The importance of MAPSE extends to the ease with which it can be obtained and reproduced, especially in patients with poor image quality, for whom LVEF and GLS may be inaccurate.This review intends to clarify the evidence available in the literature on MAPSE, which, despite its applicable usefulness in the context of various heart diseases, is an underused index in clinical practice.

Carvalho et al. (2025) conducted a review in Cardiovascular diseases. Mitral Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (MAPSE) was evaluated. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) is a simple and reproducible echocardiographic parameter that detects early left ventricular longitudinal systolic dysfunction even when LVEF is normal.
