Key result
Agreement between TAPSE and MRI-RVEF was slight (K = 0.09 ± 0.089) in adults after Mustard procedure, indicating TAPSE is not a useful measure of right ventricular function.
Why the study?
Does TAPSE accurately reflect MRI-derived right ventricular ejection fraction in adult patients with d-transposition of the great arteries after Mustard procedure?
Observational (n=18)
Does TAPSE accurately reflect MRI-derived right ventricular ejection fraction in adult patients with d-transposition of the great arteries after Mustard procedure?
Effect estimate: K = 0.09 ± 0.089
In adult patients with d-transposition of the great arteries after a Mustard procedure, TAPSE shows slight agreement with MRI-derived RVEF and is not a useful measure of systemic right ventricular function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution warranted using TAPSE for systemic RV assessment post-Mustard; leaves open validation of alternative echo metrics against MRI.
De et al. (2013) conducted an observational in d-transposition of the great arteries after atrial switch operation (n=18). Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) vs. Magnetic resonance imaging-derived ejection fraction of the RV (MRI-RVEF) was evaluated on Agreement between TAPSE and MRI-RVEF (K = 0.09 ± 0.089). Agreement between TAPSE and MRI-RVEF was slight (K = 0.09 ± 0.089) in adults after Mustard procedure, indicating TAPSE is not a useful measure of right ventricular function.
