BACKGROUND Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) has become a popular tool for assessing right ventricular (RV) systolic function because of its ease of application. TAPSE using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is limited by alignment with the lateral wall of the RV. Modified TAPSE (m-TAPSE) is a novel method for measuring TAPSE. m-TAPSE is the difference in the ‘apical to lateral tricuspid annulus distance’ during diastole and systole. The aim of the present study was to compare prospectively m-TAPSE with the most commonly used parameter TAPSE and near-gold standard 2D echocardiographic parameter RV fractional area change (RV FAC). METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study of 125 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery in a single tertiary care center. Post-anesthetic induction TAPSE was recorded using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). m-TAPSE was recorded using TEE in the mid-esophageal four-chamber view. RV FAC was also assessed using TEE. m-TAPSE < 16 mm, TAPSE < 16 mm and RV FAC < 35% were taken as cut-offs for RV systolic dysfunction. Correlations were assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated using 2 × 2 cross table. RESULTS m-TAPSE was significantly correlated with TAPSE (r = 0.797, p < 0.001). Similarly, a significant correlation was observed between m-TAPSE and RV FAC (r = 0.602, p < 0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of m-TAPSE were 100%, 98.3%, 80%, 100% and 98.4%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS m-TAPSE correlated well with both RV FAC and TAPSE. Therefore, m-TAPSE can be considered an easily measurable alternative parameter for evaluating RV systolic function in a busy intraoperative setting.
