STUDY ON THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TAPSE, SA AND RV FAC IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 95
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several echocardiographic methods have been proposed to rapidly and routinely analyse Right Ventricular (RV) performance in various clinical settings. Among these, TAPSE, Sa and RV FAC are simple, rapid and feasible methods which were correlated with the standard methods of RV functional evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Current study evaluated right ventricular function by echocardiography in 200 consecutive patients of acute ST elevation myocardial infarction admitted to Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad during early hospitalisation period. We assessed right ventricular function by TAPSE, Sa and RV FAC. RESULTS There was significant and high correlation between all the three parameters (TAPSE, Sa and RV FAC) used for assessing right ventricular function. The correlation between TAPSE and Tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity (Sa) was highest compared to other parameter correlations. This is probably because both the parameters are measures of longitudinal contraction of right ventricle. CONCLUSION There is high correlation between TAPSE, Sa and RV FAC in assessing RV function after acute MI.
