Background
Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is an emerging prognostic indicator in patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods and Results
We prospectively examined 782 normotensive patients with PE who underwent echocardiography in a multicenter study. As compared with patients with a TAPSE of > 1.6 cm, those with a TAPSE of ≤ 1.6 cm had increased systolic pulmonary artery pressure (53.7 ± 16.7 mmHg vs. 40.0 ± 15.5 mmHg, P < 0.001), right ventricle (RV) end‐diastolic diameter (3.5 ± 0.8 cm vs. 3.0 ± 0.6 cm, P |
