The role of the TAPSE/sPAP ratio as a predictor of mortality in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Its value for patient risk stratification

Background: The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/sPAP) ratio has been proposed as an indicator of ventriculo-arterial coupling, predicting right ventricular failure (RVF) and mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
