Title: Transthoracic echocardiographic image of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion

Legend: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was measured on M-mode tracings through the tricuspid annulus by the RV-focused apical 4-chamber view

RV, right ventricle

Title: ROC curves of TAPSE, RV-FAC, and S’ to predict CV events

Legend: The AUC of TAPSE (0.793) was the largest compared to those of RV-FAC (0.681) and S’ (0.626).

AUC, area under the curve; CV, cardiovascular; ROC, receiver operating characteristic; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion

Title: Kaplan-Meier curves of cardiovascular events according to TAPSE

Legend: Patients with TAPSE <11 mm had a significantly higher rate of CV event (p = 0.018 by the log-rank test) compared to those with TAPSE ≥11 mm.

CV, cardiovascular; TAPSE, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion
