Why the study?
The lack of reference values limits the widespread use of mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) for evaluating left ventricular systolic function.
What are the normal reference values and principal determinants for mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) measured by M-mode and 2D-STE in healthy adults?
Population
1952 healthy participants from 55 centres
Comparison
MAPSE measured using M-mode echocardiography vs 2D-STE
Design
Multicentre, prospective, cross-sectional study

May aid age-sex adjusted LV function assessment in echo labs; leaves open prospective validation of incremental prognostic value.
What are the normal reference values and principal determinants for mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) measured by M-mode and 2D-STE in healthy adults?
This study establishes age- and sex-specific normal reference values for MAPSE using M-mode and 2D-STE, facilitating its use in routine echocardiographic assessment of LV systolic function.
Wang et al. (2023) studied this question.
