TAPSE as a Prognostic Tool in Pulmonary Embolism
Last week we posted an article on acute pulmonary embolism in echocardiography. In that post we discussed how echo is good for ruling-in pulmonary embolism but not for ruling-out a pulmonary embolism.

TAPSE and RVSP – Prognostic Value When Viewed as an Index
We have been teaching on correct techniques for right heart assessment (including TAPSE and RVSP) for a while now and we still seem to face a little resistance sometimes in regards to the clinical significance of right heart assessment. In order for us to learn and retain information we often have to understand the relevance and make a connection between what we are learning and how it relates to things we know.
8 Tips to Correct RV Function Assessment with TAPSE & S’ Wave
We dedicated the month of April to learning about ways to implement right heart quantification into our routine exams. This month, we are going to continue that journey and discuss ways to evaluate the function of the right heart!
Introduction to Right Heart Assessment
CardioServ is dedicating the month of April to right heart quantification awareness! This month we will present a series of blogs to review the proper methods to quantify right ventricular size and function.
