TAPSE

---

Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a measurement of

---

[A] LV Function
[B] RV Function
[C] Mitral Valve
[D] Tricuspid Valve

---

---

TAPSE is measured using

---

[A] M-mode echocardiography
[B] 2D echocardiography
[C] 3D echocardiography
[D] Color Doppler

---

[A] < 10
[B] >10
[C] <16
[D] >16

A normal value for tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is 15–25 mm. 

---

• • TAPSE is measured using M-mode echocardiography in the apical four-chamber view.
  • It’s a measurement of how far the lateral tricuspid annulus moves toward the apex during systole
  • TAPSE <17 mm indicates right ventricular systolic dysfunction.
  • TAPSE <14 mm indicates a poor prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure
