Key result
Objective measures of right ventricular function were inconsistently acquired, with TAPSE recorded in 66% and TA TDI s' signals in 98% of echocardiograms.

Inconsistent TAPSE acquisition may limit reliable RV assessment; leaves open whether standardization improves reporting or outcomes.
There is a need for greater efforts to standardize the acquisition and reporting of objective measurements of right ventricular function in routine echocardiography.
López‐Candales et al. (2017) studied this question. Objective measures of right ventricular function were inconsistently acquired, with TAPSE recorded in 66% and TA TDI s' signals in 98% of echocardiograms.
