Association of Apical Longitudinal Rotation with Right Ventricular Performance in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension: Insights into Overestimation of Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion

Abstract

TAPSE may be overestimated in PH patients with clockwise rotation resulting from left ventricular compression. TAPSE should thus be evaluated carefully in PH patients with marked apical rotation.
