Association between the TAPSE/PASP ratio and exercise capacity in heart transplant candidates with advanced heart failure
TAPSE/PASP, beyond its role as a surrogate of RV function, is strongly associated with exercise capacity and, in secondary analyses, with long-term outcomes in advanced HF. Incorporating TAPSE/PASP into transplant evaluation protocols may enhance risk stratification and help identify patients who require closer monitoring and tailored management.
