DISCORDANT TRICUSPID ANNULAR PLANE SYSTOLIC EXCURSION AND GLOBAL RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION IN PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: IMPACT OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR GEOMETRY AND TRICUSPID REGURGITATION

Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in pulmonary arterial (PA) hypertension (PAH) is associated with adverse outcomes. TAPSE is a commonly used marker of RVD in PAH. However, in some patients, TAPSE appears discordant with qualitative and other quantitative measures of RV function. We sought to
