Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the relationship between tricuspid annular displacement and survival in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
  • Analyzed correlation between tricuspid annular displacement (TAPSE) and right ventricular (RV) function.
  • Focused on patients diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
  • TAPSE is shown to significantly predict survival outcomes in pulmonary hypertension patients (p<0.001).
  • Higher TAPSE values correlate with improved prognosis and RV function in the studied population.

Abstract

TAPSE powerfully reflects RV function and prognosis in PAH.
