Non-invasive surrogates for right Ventricular-Pulmonary arterial coupling: a systematic review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Right ventricle-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling describes the energetic relationship between RV contractility and its afterload. The gold standard for assessment of this relationship requires invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop measurements. Non-invasive surrogates of RV-PA coupling have been developed, such as the echocardiographic tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure ratio (TAPSE/PASP), but their performance has not been systematically assessed. We sought to assess performance of TAPSE/PASP ratio compared to PV loop-defined RV-PA coupling. A systematic search was conducted. Studies were included if PV loop derived RV-PA coupling metrics were compared to echocardiographic or magnetic resonance imaging surrogates. We conducted a meta-analysis of
