Résumé

Right ventricular (RV) function is tightly coupled to afterload, yet echocardiographic indices of RV function are frequently assessed in isolation. Normalizing RV function for afterload (RV-PA coupling) using a simplified ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/ tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV) could help to identify RV decompensation and improve risk stratification in critically ill patients. This is the first study to explore the distribution of TAPSE/TRV ratio and its prognostic relevance in a large general critical care cohort. We undertook retrospective analysis of echocardiographic, clinical, and mortality data of intensive care unit (ICU) patients between January 2012 and May 2017. A total of 1077 patients were included and stratified into tertile groups based on TAPSE/TRV ratio: low (< 5.9 mm.(m/s) Higher proportions of ventricular dysfunctions were seen in low TAPSE/TRV tertiles. TAPSE/TRV ratio is impacted by LV systolic function but to a lesser extent than RV dysfunction or biventricular dysfunction. There was a strong inverse relationship between TAPSE/TRV ratio and survival. After multivariate analysis, higher TAPSE/TRV ratios (indicating better RV-PA coupling) were independently associated with lower risk of death in ICU (HR 0.927 [0.872-0.985], p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated higher overall survival in middle and high tertiles compared to low tertiles (log rank p < 0.0001). The prognostic relevance of TAPSE/TRV ratio was strongest in respiratory and sepsis subgroups. Patients with TAPSE/TRV < 5.9 mm (m/s) The TAPSE/TRV ratio has prognostic relevance in critically ill patients. The prognostic power may be stronger in respiratory and septic subgroups. Larger prospective studies are needed to investigate the role of TAPSE/TRV in pre-specified subgroups including its role in clinical decision-making.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Right ventricular (RV) function is tightly coupled to afterload, yet echocardiographic indices of RV function are frequently assessed in isolation. Normalizing RV function for afterload (RV-PA coupling) using a simplified ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/ tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV) could help to identify RV decompensation and improve risk stratification in critically ill patients. This is the first study to explore the distribution of TAPSE/TRV ratio and its prognostic relevance in a large general critical care cohort.
METHODS METHODS
We undertook retrospective analysis of echocardiographic, clinical, and mortality data of intensive care unit (ICU) patients between January 2012 and May 2017. A total of 1077 patients were included and stratified into tertile groups based on TAPSE/TRV ratio: low (< 5.9 mm.(m/s)
RESULTS RESULTS
Higher proportions of ventricular dysfunctions were seen in low TAPSE/TRV tertiles. TAPSE/TRV ratio is impacted by LV systolic function but to a lesser extent than RV dysfunction or biventricular dysfunction. There was a strong inverse relationship between TAPSE/TRV ratio and survival. After multivariate analysis, higher TAPSE/TRV ratios (indicating better RV-PA coupling) were independently associated with lower risk of death in ICU (HR 0.927 [0.872-0.985], p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated higher overall survival in middle and high tertiles compared to low tertiles (log rank p < 0.0001). The prognostic relevance of TAPSE/TRV ratio was strongest in respiratory and sepsis subgroups. Patients with TAPSE/TRV < 5.9 mm (m/s)
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The TAPSE/TRV ratio has prognostic relevance in critically ill patients. The prognostic power may be stronger in respiratory and septic subgroups. Larger prospective studies are needed to investigate the role of TAPSE/TRV in pre-specified subgroups including its role in clinical decision-making.
