| Abstract |
Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is a robust measure of RV function, but the performance of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) measured TAPSE during surgery is not well established. We aim to evaluate feasibility of various TEE views before, during and after surgery. Furthermore, we compare performance of individual TEE measurements depending on view and method (AMM- and M-mode as well as 2D) as well as TAPSE measured using TEE with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) TAPSE. The study was conducted from January 2015 through September 2016. In 47 patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction, TEE was prospectively performed during coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. TAPSE and tricuspid annulus tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) were recorded in five different views at pre-specified time points during surgery. Data were analyzed for availability (obtainable/readable images) and reliability (intra-/inter-observer bias and precision). Finally, TEE TAPSE was compared to TTE TAPSE immediately before and after surgery. TAPSE and TDI with TEE was achievable in > 90% of patients in the transgastric view during surgery. The AM- and M-mode had the best reliability and the best correlation with TAPSE measured with TTE. The deep transgastric view was achievable in less than 50% after sternotomy, and TAPSE measured from 2D had a poorer performance compared to the AM- and M-mode. TDI demonstrated a high reliability throughout surgery. RV function can be evaluated by TAPSE and TDI using TEE during surgery. TEE values from the transgastric view demonstrated high performance throughout surgery and a good agreement with TTE TAPSE measurements. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 February 2018.
All research outputs
#22,767,715
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
#1,460
of 2,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#389,793
of 449,219 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
#26
of 34 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,012 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,219 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 34 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
