Right ventricular ejection fraction is better reflected by transverse rather than longitudinal wall motion in pulmonary hypertension
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal wall motion of the right ventricle (RV), generally quantified as tricuspid annular systolic excursion (TAPSE), has been well studied in pulmonary hypertension (PH). In contrast, transverse wall motion has been examined less. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate r...
